children of hope...and brotherly love
My favourite series of pics from villa esperanza. Roberto making sure that his little brother, Manuel, gets home safely from school. Both in their school uniforms, (navy pants & white shirts, shoes, oversized knapsacks), supplied by Empowerment International. The schools are overcrowded so split into two attendance sessions, morning and afternoon. Kathy & I walked with them all the way back to their home. Roberto didn't let go of Manuel for a single second. Their bond of brotherly love was strongly evident. They are the younger brothers of Alexander, seen earlier in the child of hope series. If all three brothers stay in school, it's very possible they'll have a chance for a brighter future.
