Esdras Emanuel Tacatic Pirir
Esdras is an active and curious boy. He loves playing with cars and building things with blocks. Esdras lives with his family in this impoverished area of Cruz Blanca, where the living conditions are very difficult. There are many community challenges, including community unrest, child labor, and illiteracy. The typical home has walls made of cement block, with a tin roof and a dirt floor. They live in an environment where respiratory problems are a common result of the use of firewood in indoor cooking. Your sponsorship will make it possible for Esdras to attend the Learning Center where he will receive tutoring and food. He will also learn of Jesus’ love for him and be encouraged to reach his God given potential because he is worth more than the poverty he was born into. Please remember him in your prayers.
