Alfredo's Mom passed away when he was just nine years old. His father was left with the five children to take care of. Since he had to work and take care of the children, work, and cook, he didn't think he was going to make it. After feeling very sad for a year, he fled to the United States illegally and left the five children (ages one to nine)with in-laws. Alfredo's grandmother brought him to El Sembrador in 2004. He instantly won our hearts. Alfredo's been with us for four years now and he hasn't seen his dad in nine years. A surprise came in October when his dad showed up at the school. His son had grown into a young man and he didn't have a clue which one of our boys was his son. Alfredo received his first hug from his dad that day. This picture was taken of them in Siguate (where they are from). He is trying to get to know his dad again. It is hard as he isn't sure if his dad is going to stay in Honduras long term or not. The littlest child is now ten years old. This picture is taken of Alfredo's little brother (pictured on left), his dad (middle), and Alfredo (pictured on right).
