Searching For Value

This is a boy who attends one of our schools in La Limonada. He is just 8 or 9 years old. He spends hours in the ravine searching for scrap metals that will earn him about 0.20Q per pound (equal to about 3¢). The ravine in La Limonada is filled with trash and sewage.

He does this just to have some food at home.

He is faithful in his attendance at school. He loves hugs and is very intelligent. He's one of the older children in his class and is a natural leader.

He earned 12Q ($1.50) yesterday from what he found in the ravine. He was so proud of the money he'd earned.
