Nothing more important than a healthy lunch

Victor Molina is 11 years old, and is a third grader at CENIT’s elementary school.  He is originally from Ventanas, in the coastal Los Rios province of Ecuador, but  his father brought him to Quito to live with his paternal grandmother and cousins. His grandmother sells popsicles (Bon Ice) in the streets, and her minimal income has to stretch to feed five grandchildren, and herself.

Victor was an aggressive and rebellious child, but his behavior has been improving with his grandmother’s love and patience, and the help and support of CENIT’s psychologist.

Victor would like to study to become a repairman for small home appliances, like his cousin does.  He is thankful to have a warm a filling lunch at CENIT: his biggest meal most days.
