children of hope.......rosa & juan

We' ve heard that word "hope" a lot lately. The Oxford English defintion

of hope is "a feeling of expectation and desire for something good to

happen" ...the objective is still in the future but deemed to be attainable.

Hope that is truly hopeful is determined by that in which hope has been

placed. President Obama's administration is already showing itself to be

one of integrity and respect and transparency, hope for a better future is

not misplaced. For the children of Villa Esperanza, the name itself, Village

of Hope, could be seen as perverse irony given the conditions they are

living in. But for them real hope lies in education and the persistence to

pursue it. Empowerment International's mandate is to offer each child

that opportunity and do everything in their power to help them attain it.
