It's time!

Gabriel has seen that it is high time to change his life.
Hopefully, his glue sniffing days are over.
He found a center where, hopefully, they will be able to give him hope, and a chance to a better life.
Time will tell, and of course I will keep you informed.

The Chavalos fund is running low again.
We have got $16 in it now, not enough to give everybody their meal next Saturday.

Ana-yely, one of the few girls living in the streets of Granada, is barred for life.

Violence, like she used on Jose Angel's face with a broken beer bottle, is unforgivable.
Doña Esperanza told me that she is ·Perdida· a lost case.
She has seen her spiral down from a normal girl to a zombie that only lives to sniff her jar of glue.
Thousands of times Doña Esperanza told the little girl to stay away from the glue, it will mean her death eventually. And I'm sure it will.
as things are going now, she won't make it to become 20.

Scarred for life, wearing his birthday clothes.

Agusto Cesar was here at the gate just now.
It's always a pleasure to see him.
And although he's only 15, he acts like a grown up.
When I told him about what happened at the Japanese hospital with his brother Jose Angel, he spontaneously said: What, a wound doesn't wait! A kid can see what grown up doctors can't!
Can you believe it.
I supplied the three brothers with some stuff that they can sell at the Mercado de Huembes, ...
Bracelets, rings, ...
Agusto Cesar told me that he is putting away all the money that he doesn't really need right now to buy rice or beans. He is saving it in a jar and is planning to buy a uniform with it for when next school year starts in February.
He's got more brains than many an adult!
It shows that he is the brother of Eynar.

Good luck to everybody with good intentions. (and hardly the means to fulfill them!)
