The following is from Aaron and Leslie, interns at Semillas de Amor:
Norbis (12) comes from one of the most upsetting family situations in Nueva Colombia. She has one older sister, and four younger sisters who come with Norbis to Semillas de Amor, but their parents don’t send any of the children to school. They live in a dimly lit house made of thin wood and corrugated tin, with dirt floors. As part of our goal to help all the sisters start attending school we went to their home and gave them each a backpack with a school kit. They were all very excited, and we were even able to finally meet their mother and ask her to start sending them to school.
