Story behind the picture:
The picture was taken at our Programme of Social Family Reintegration āCasa Amanacerā in Granada, Nicaragua. Jefferson, the 11-year-old boy in the picture, has been with the programme of the Brothers of Charity and Fracarita International for one year. Before he joined, he was growing up in a very difficult family situation. After he was abandoned by his mother, his father ā who sold drugs on the street ā took care of him. Most of the time, Jefferson wandered the streets and did not go to school. He used to beg and go to Internet cafĆ©s to play games.
When he arrived at Casa Amanacer, his behaviour was challenging, but he has made such a great improvement. Despite his learning problems, he started taking lessons. In the beginning, he was unable to read and write. Casa Amanacer, together with the school, put together a special programme of learning activities, and after a few months, Jefferson started to read and write. Since last July, he has been going to his fatherās house every weekend. He is doing very well now and has a much better future ahead!
