Sylvia lives with her mother, father and baby brother. Her parents are peasant farmers who mainly grow corn and beans seasonally. During the hot season, their crops get too dry leaving nothing for sale and barely enough to feed their children. They all stay in a one room house built of mud and bamboo.  Sylvia enjoys being at school, meeting her friends and teachers.  She has always wanted to work in a hospital as a nurse. Her mother praises her for being helpful with collecting water from the well, washing dishes and sweeping around their house. Your sponsorship will help cover Sylvia’s tuition and school supplies she needs to stay in school.
