The boys of Juventud Y Vida

Before they came to Juventud Y Vida the boys were living in the streets. They were some of the many homeless children in Mexico often seen juggling or selling gum on street corners to make a living. Now, they have a home! In fact, three more boys joined the home in November. Each boy has a scholarship to one of the private schools in Cuautla. Although the boys range in age from 8 to 14 years old, it is the first time that they have gone to school and it is very difficult for them. Most of the private schools are bilingual which just complicates matters. Imagine learning two languages at the same time with no educational background. We will be visiting them once a week to help them with their English homework.
