Hermelinda is a very caring young girl and is always concious of the other children's needs, but she can also be a bit hard headed and does not like to accept when she makes a mistake.  She always tries to help the tutors and is very dedicated to her studies.  Hermelinda wants to be a teacher when she grows up.

Economic conditions in Peru leave 6.5 million children living in extreme poverty.  Many children are abandoned due to financial burden and face a life of hopelessness without intervention.  Your generous support provides Places of Hope children with food, shelter, clothing, access to healthcare, and education. Sponsorship gives more than the basics…..it gives life.
