Jesus is an only child, His father passed away when Jesus was 3yr old. Jesus lives with his mom in an area of town known as the 'dump'. It is an area of squatters who do not have the financial ability to pay rent. They live in small one room lean-to buildings with no water or electricity. As he gets used to being a student, our primary emphasis is to help him with practical needs.  he gets a bath at school and his clothes washed, and he gets extra fruits and other snacks in addition to regular meals. We are providing vitamins as well as introducing potty training as he still uses a diaper. In class during his first week he learned how to brush his teeth and put on a pair of shoes. He will be participating in our physical therapy class on Fridays to help with his motor skills and balance.
