On Their Behalf

Elias Apen Canas

2009-02-28T20:11:00.000-08:00

Elias is in first grade. He lives in a house made out of pieces of cartoon, aluminum, etc. He helps his parents to go to the coffee plantation to pick coffee up. It has taken a long time to make parents understand that their kids deserve a better life. We have at Kairos all 4 brothers and sister. We need your help so that Elias can finish school. Just starting it is a huge step and we can tell he is very happy and smart and is doing great.

Greysi, one of ould oldest kids in school (actually a teenager). She used to help with the income at home by selling handykrafts in Antigua. She can weeve and sometimes still sells her own stuff. She is fourth grade. The missed school for a couple of years since it was more helpful at home by working. She is a good student and we believe she can make it along with your help.

Cute, isn´t he? he is hiper-active, smart little one. I guess you can tell by the look on his face. First time in school as well as most of our kids, but when we see him running all over the place, having so much fun and learning a lot, there is not other thing to think that we were not wrong about giving him the chance of his life. Please help us to go on with him

Carlos David Gonzalez Garcia

We call him Carlitos. We have watch him growing during the past 9 years. He was only one at the time we met him and was learning to walk. Even though he is already 10 years old, he had never been to school and now he is at Kairos in first grade. To our surprise, he is one of the two best students. Could you join us to see Carlitos graduating from college. He has the potential and the willingness to do it.

Deisy Janeth Sales Xata

2009-02-28T19:12:00.000-08:00

In our first month of school, Deisy is one of our joy and pride!! In Guatemala, whoever gets the best grades (2 kids) get to carry the national flag in any civic act. Well, Deisy is one of them. It was so exiting to see her and Carlos carrying our national flag in our first civic act of the year. She is in first grade. Long ways to go, right? but she can make it. Let us help her to finish what with great satisfaction we can say started really well.

Abner and Obed Manuel Marcos

2009-02-10T04:59:00.000-08:00

Our 8 year old left handed twins. They live in a house made out of aluminum sorrounded by lots of flowers. This is a Christian family who had been praying for God to provide education for Abner and Obed. Their economic condition used to be better than now, so older brothers and sister got to go to school, but last year when time came for Abner and Obed to start school, parents just could not afford it. Through Kairos, God gave them them this awaited opportunity. Thank you Gilmores, for being God´s extended hand for these kids.

Edgar Josue Campo Ortiz

2009-02-09T19:56:00.000-08:00

Josue is six years old (almost seven), he is now starting his first year of a journey that will definitely make a difference in his life. He is the last one of three kids, he belongs to a Christian family, his father works as a baker and as a family they dream about having their own bakery sometime. We believe this and more can be possible. Our vision is to raise christian leaders! do you think Josue could be one? with your help, it can be!!

Bryan Apen Canas

2009-02-09T19:52:00.001-08:00

Bryan, the second of four kids. He is one of the four kids with whom our vision started. Bryan is 11 years old, and yet, never been to school. They live in a room made out of pieces of carton board, aluminun, whatever could be found. His parents work in the coffee field and is more profitable to take him to help them than sending him to school (or so they think). We do believe that God can surely change this!!! would you joing us in this fight?

Josue Gilberto Gonzalez Garcia

2009-02-09T19:47:00.000-08:00

Beto, as we call him, is an 11 year old boy who started just now 1st. grade since never had the opportunity to go to school before. Would you help us make his dream of having a different live come true?

Paola Ortiz, she is in second grade and belongs to a family of three kids. She is the oldest one in her family and has a 5 year old sister and a 2 years old sister also. She lives in one bedroom house made by her own father. Her father is a mason helper and her mom sometimes washes clothes, irons, makes tortillas, etc. to help with the income for home. she is a very shy girl, but sweet little one. Please help us to get her through school and help her family brake down the poverty circle.

Jose Luis Gonzalez Garcia

2009-02-08T12:26:00.000-08:00

Luis is a 13 year old boy who regretfully has not been able to attend school in a regular basis. He was going into 3rd grade during the 2009 school period. However, he is a very smart boy and the teachers at Kairos will be working hard with him and because of his age, the Ministry of Education allows us to promote him in a shorter period of time. He was promoted up to 4th grade instead of third. He comes from a desintegrated family with 6 kids. He is the second oldest in the family. Thanks to the Gilmore Family, Luis will have the opportunity to have a really good Christian education and the opportunity to break down with poverty in his family.
