Rodrigo's Dream

This is Rodrigo, at the age of 13. Rodrigo learned much in the four years that he lived at Hope House. He ventured out with improved confidence as a result of the schooling and emotional support he received from the entire Hope House staff. He excelled in math, and enjoyed learning how to read and write.  At home he was never encouraged to be creative or learn.  In his new supportive environment he became proud of his talent for drawing. Rodrigo was a great help in the kitchen and a very hard worker in the garden. He departed with the dream of becoming a chef.  Rodrigo is remembered fondly for his love of pizza and music. The staff could hear him singing as he did his assigned chores.  He entertained the boys with fun songs. Rodrigo's memory Bible verse is in Philippians and it says, “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” Your monthly GIFTS encourage boys like Rodrigo to believe in their dreams.
