Alba is four years old; she is an affectionate, smiling and friendly little girl. She likes to play dolls with her cousins.

Alba helps her mother to sweep. She longs to go to school because, when she grows up, she would like to be a nurse.

Alba's father's name is Carlos Sec; he is 30 years old and he works in the fields. Her mother's name is Aura López; she is 29 years old and she is a housewife. Alba has two sisters: Brenda Leticia who is 10 years old and Flor de Maria who is one year old. The family is close; they all attend church. Both parents are generous to their children with what little they have and they both wish that their children could have a better future than theirs.

The family lives in a small room, but it is not their own. This room is made of block walls, a tin roof and a concrete floor. They have running water and electrical service and they use firewood to cook their food.

If you would kindly sponsor this dear little child, she could start attending school and take the first step towards her dream career. You could change her life.
