Meet Ronaldo, or as he is lovingly known as “Rocha”.
Rocha was born in the city of Ocotlán, just a few miles up from our village communities. This region being known for its gang culture and cartel influence. He is one of 3 boys and 2 girls in his family.
We first met Rocha when he started coming around as a little kid for a sandwich and an orange. That simple interaction and impact of empowerment, simply feeding a starving child, changed the coarse of his life.
Today nearly 5 years later, he is one of our greatest assets. He joined the MARKED soccer team, stayed in school and today is studying carpentry to one day start his own business.
He serves the community, runs errands and helps with whatever is needed.
His heart is massive, and his desire to know more about God is contagious.
We could not be more proud of him. The transformation is evident.
