Meet Nohemy

Nohemy is 13 years old and lives in the outskirts of the Alta Mira Flores community in San Salvador, El Salvador. Nohemy comes from a family of 6, she has one younger brother and two younger sisters. Her dad is currently unemployed, and her mother works as a tortilla maker at the local market. Her mother works from 6 in the morning until 8-9 at night, and some times Nohemy has to stay and watch the house or mind her younger brothers and sisters.Life can be hard for Nohemy's family struggling on one parents wages which amounts to a mere $2 a day. Nohemy's parents struggle to provide their children with the bare necessities such as access to education and health support. Yet there is hope...

Nohemy attends the local La Rosa Blanca School and through the support from Together in Hope is receiving educational and nutritional support. Nohemy's younger brother Jon and sister Flor are also enrolled in the La Rosa Blanca school. Their Dad hopes their youngest sister Natalia will be able to start school this coming Fall. Nohemy is currently in grade 4, due to the lack of resources in this community she may only be able to attend school for two more years as the La Rosa Blanca School only has grades 1-6. Nohemys parents cannot  afford to send her to the local public school....

Nohemy dreams of becoming a doctor when she grows up. She wants to help her family and her community...do you think we can help her dreams come true?? Jon wants to be a fanous footballer and maybe play for Barcelona, and Flor wants to become a nurse. We can all make sure the dreams of Nohemy, Jon, Flor and little Natalia come true..we can change the future of these children and give them a brighter tomorrow.
