Joche Aguilar 's
success story: He came to our
orphanage when he was 6 years old. He was extremely shy and would avoid
eye contact. He never took initiative to approach anyone, ever. Until recently,
he always went to the back of a group often hiding his face. As a boy, he
claimed he was a thief and would always be one. After years of care and
attention, Joche is now a transformed young man.
In 2003, he graduated high school and is now fully employed and earning three
times the average wage earner's salary in Honduras. He is extremely proud of his
accomplishments and enormously grateful for his new and productive life.
