| Family
The family of Noemí is very poor. Her parents don’t speak Spanish and do not have a good job to support the family. The father works for other people and does not earn very much money. Two years ago, the Children’s Project helped one of their sons, Eliseo. Last year, Eliseo graduated from college as an accountant and now works in the Capital. Noemi wants to study to be a teacher, where she would need to go to another city to study as the possibility does not exist here in San Pedro. The family wants to send Noemí to college to study, but unfortunately due to their living conditions she is the second priority. Therefore they will be unable to send her to college next year. Seeing the poor living conditions of his family, Eliseo is working in the city to earn money to help construct a comfortable house for his family, so they do not have to suffer anymore in the winter. The family need a lot of help and the Project has taken the decision to support Noemí during the three years of her studies. |
