Miguel dreams of becoming a lawyer!

Miguel is the son of Cruz and Isabel and was born in August 1997. He is 14 years old and is in 6th grade of primary school.  Miguel and his family live in the Nahuala municipality of Guatemala, which is located in the Northeast province of Guatemala.

Miguel dreams of becoming a lawyer and supporting indigenous people within his community. He is a very bright kid for his age and his parents have struggled to support him with school. His father works as a laborer of small plots of land in order to support his family. This provides a small income of $55 US dollars, that serves to only cover the most basic of the family’s living expenses. Miguel’s mother takes care of the home and watches over Miguel and his three younger siblings.

Miguel walks 20 minutes by foot, mostly uphill, to get to the Roots and Wings Tutoring center. He is very excited about school and feels tutoring really helps him do better in school. Thank you so much Mridula for helping support Miguel with his education. He very appreciates your support!
