Every day he goes to the city of Zacatecoluca to study. He is studying through a scholarship and also works part-time.


The family has lived here for 13 years . She asked God to give her a little house where she would feel safer for her and her family. Because in this house she feels very insecure and because the house is already very deteriorated. The Shelter house is an answered prayer.
