Hiucho the Troublemaker

To close up this group of photographs of kids from the School of Champions in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, I have chosen this image of Huicho. He was the class clown and a troublemaker but he wore his heart on his sleeve and developed a special bond with my wife Celia. This photograph was taken on Celia's last day at the school, After the rest of the children had left and said their goodbyes, Huicho stayed and watched us drive away. He was crying and waving goodbye, broken hearted. Earlier in the day he had said that Celia gave him hope and a feeling of purpose, that he'd like to be a teacher like her when he's older.
