June, packed with Orphanage graduations
Education is very important in Mexico. In June, there are special graduation ceremonies for the different schools, but there are also parties to attend. The celebrations are fun, yet quickly add up with several kids graduating. See “Live from Mexico, a Faithful Family”, for how Josue funded these celebrations this year.
Many of our kids celebrated in graduation ceremonies last month. Omar graduated from kindergarten. From the elementary, or primaria, level, Leticia, America, Jaime and Agustin graduated. From junior high, segundaria, Sofia and Mayra celebrated. And finishing high school/technical school, preparatoria, Ramiro graduated. He plans on entering the university, studying engineering in the fall.
Each of these kids is moving on to more education. Two of the kids, Jaime and Mayra, had little or no schooling before coming to El Sauzal as older children. They each worked through an accelerated program, completing many levels of schooling in three years. For them and others, education might have been impossible without the help of the Orphanage. We are so excited to watch our kids grow!

Sofia,
Way to go! I am so proud of you. Wish I could have been there for your graduation. Keep studying and you will reach your goals.
God bless you.
Love,
