Selvin es un ni\u00f1o de doce a\u00f1os que vive en el orfanato Valle de los \u00c1ngeles, nuestra escuela misionera en Guatemala. Es el mayor de tres hermanos y lleg\u00f3 al Valle porque en casa no hab\u00eda nadie que pudiera cuidar de \u00e9l ni de sus hermanos. Su padre abandon\u00f3 a la familia cuando Selvin ten\u00eda cinco a\u00f1os, y su madre tiene que trabajar mucho para poder sostenerlos.<\/p>\n\n
\u00abEn el Valle hay oportunidades\u00bb, dice Selvin.<\/p>\n\n
El padre Joaqu\u00edn, OFM, comenta que desde su primer d\u00eda en el Valle, \u201cSelvin ha demostrado tener un buen esp\u00edritu, inteligencia y perseverancia. Le gusta jugar al f\u00fatbol y al b\u00e9isbol, y tiene talento para el dibujo. Tambi\u00e9n ama a los santos, especialmente a San Judas Tadeo\u201d.<\/p>\n\n
Cuando Selvin imagina su futuro, sue\u00f1a con comprarle una buena casa a su familia y sacarlos de la pobreza. \u201cEl Valle ha sido un verdadero hogar para m\u00ed, donde me cuidan y me alimentan\u201d, dice. \u201cEs un refugio donde me siento seguro. Cuando crezca y pueda, me gustar\u00eda devolverles todo lo que me han dado.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
El padre Joaqu\u00edn explica que pronto Selvin tendr\u00e1 que dejar el Valle porque los programas escolares para varones terminan en sexto grado. \u201cAun as\u00ed, buscamos formas de apoyar a j\u00f3venes como Selvin para que puedan seguir persiguiendo sus sue\u00f1os,\u201d afirma el padre Joaqu\u00edn. \u201cSiguen siendo parte de la familia de Valle de los \u00c1ngeles, y continuamos brind\u00e1ndoles amistad, orientaci\u00f3n y apoyo espiritual.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
Gracias a nuestros generosos donantes, tambi\u00e9n intentamos proporcionar a algunos de estos j\u00f3venes el apoyo financiero necesario para completar su formaci\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica en otras instituciones, como la Escuela T\u00e9cnica San Jos\u00e9. Para lograrlo, necesitan materiales de estudio, alimentos y alojamiento durante su estancia en la ciudad, donde se encuentra la escuela.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cTodos podemos ser parte del sue\u00f1o de Selvin,\u201d dice el padre Joaqu\u00edn. Basta con unos pocos d\u00f3lares al d\u00eda para ayudarnos a asegurar que j\u00f3venes prometedores de nuestras misiones en Centroam\u00e9rica tengan una verdadera oportunidad de salir de la pobreza, desarrollar carreras productivas y elevar a sus familias y comunidades, todo bajo la mirada amorosa y atenta de Dios.<\/p>\n\n
El orfanato Valle de los \u00c1ngeles en Guatemala es una de las misiones apoyadas por los Asociados de la Misi\u00f3n Franciscana. <\/p>\n\n
Fundada en 1993, la misi\u00f3n fue establecida originalmente para educar y cuidar a ni\u00f1os abandonados. Con el tiempo, ha ampliado su alcance para servir a todos los ni\u00f1os necesitados. Hoy, el Valle proporciona vivienda, alimentaci\u00f3n y educaci\u00f3n a m\u00e1s de 200 ni\u00f1os. <\/p>\n\n
Adem\u00e1s de la educaci\u00f3n formal, los estudiantes participan en programas que favorecen su desarrollo acad\u00e9mico, espiritual y personal. Gracias a la labor continua de los Hermanos Franciscanos y a la generosidad de los benefactores, el Valle de los \u00c1ngeles sigue siendo un lugar donde los j\u00f3venes tienen la oportunidad de construir un futuro estable y lleno de esperanza. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
