Ingris Marcela Miranda Salgado (Estelí)
Hi, my name’s Ingris Marcela but everyone calls me just Marcela. I’m 6 years old and in 2nd grade. My favorite subject is Spanish, because I like learning to read and write. My mom makes tortillas to sell out of our house and my dad works in a tobacco factory, but he also works with cattle at the stockyards on weekends to earn extra money. I have a big sister and 2 big brothers. I’d like to be a policewoman when I grow up! Will you be my sponsor?
Bryan José Rivas Membreño (San Isidro)
Hi, I’m Bryan; I’m 6 and I love going to Kindergarten! My dad paints cars and earns about US$ 120 a month. My mom hasn’t been able to find work because of the bad economy, so her job is to stay home and take care of me. I also have two big sisters named Karla and Cinthya—they’re twins. People say I’m introverted; I’m not sure what that means but I know I want to get an education and be a success in life. I hope a kind person will sponsor me!
Wendy de los Angeles Lanza Garcia (La Chureca)
Hello! I'm Wendy de los Angeles and I'm 10 years old and in 2nd grade. My favorite class is math and I like to study and play with my dolls. My brother has lymphoma and my family spends a lot of time in the hospital. I want to be a doctor when I grow up. My dad works in La Chureca collecting recyclables for about $30 a month. I can't wait to have a sponsor.
Juana Maria Calero Corea (San Isidro)
Hola, I’m Juana. I’m 6 years old and I love going to Kindergarten. My mom works as a maid and my stepdad’s a bus driver. They work very hard to earn about US$ 150 a month. I get a lot of colds and sometimes pneumonia, so I stay inside a lot. My favorite things to do are draw pictures, color and play with dolls. I hope someone will sponsor me soon!
Rafael Antonio Davila Garcia (Estelí)
Hello there! My name’s Rafael and I’m 7. I’m in 2nd grade and my favorite subject is Math. At the Fabretto Center I love learning English and computers. My dad works selling bags of bread and my mom makes tortillas at home to sell. Together they earn about US$ 120 a month which isn’t very much to support me and my sister Rosa. She’s 9 and she has a sponsor. I hope someone will pick me too!

Hola! I’m Janier, I’m 11 years old and in 4th grade. I have a sister named Jacqueline who’s a year younger than me. Our parents work but their incomes barely cover food and other basic necessities. My favorite subjects in school are Spanish, Math and Natural Sciences. I’ve been going to Fabretto for 4 years and my favorite classes at the Center are English, computers and music.
