Great update on Alegria de Vivir from Sheena!
This week I had a chance to meet Juan David, pictured above. Juan David is a cheerful eight year old who loves animals and playing with his siblings. Juan David also has cerebral palsy which affects both his body and his learning. Despite this, he is very active and walks independently with his walker. When he was able to attend school he enjoyed painting and doing other activities with his classmates. Unfortunately he cannot attend this school anymore and the only ones now available to him are costly. His mother wants him to receive an education above all, but she cannot afford the tuition and transportation costs. This is a common dilema of many of the families that participate in the organization Alegria de Vivir or Joy of LIfe here in Turbaco. This foundation is the only support that many of these families have. In supporting this foundation, we can give hope to children like Juan David who want to attend school just like everyone else.
