Alejandro is our newest boy in El Camino, the boys' restoration home! He's 10 years old & comes to us after having run away several times from a very abusive situation at home with his mother & step-dad. Alejandro was found sleeping in the market by himself, in one of the poorer areas of the city. He's one of 7 kids, and was not going to school so he could 'take care of' his younger brothers & sisters in his family's 1-room rented space. His step-dad would lock them in the room until either he or his mother returned late at night. When Alejandro didn't take care of his younger siblings adequately enough, or had fought with them during the day, his step-dad would take a hammer and smash his fingernails.Alejandro has just finished a week with us at El Toborochi (our reception house for street kids) & is currently spending his 1st weekend at the boys' home. Please pray for him & his adjustment to new life at the home. We are very happy to have him & know the Lord's going to bring much needed healing to his life. He accepted Christ as his saviour while at the reception house & is excited to make new friends at the home!
