Rosita

Is enough to observe her little smile and her beautiful eyes to feel that you love her, she is a sweet and beautiful girl who arrived at PAHS three years ago, with only 14 months of age, finding in our institution her new home, she is Rosalinda Pineda.
To Rosita, life has taught her really hard lessons since she was a baby, first she lost her sister, three years ago, because of the malnutrition, she died the day before that personal of PAHS arrived to her community, she did not have the opportunity that Rosita had to recovery. The center of health of the community of San Antonio, place where the family lived, communicated with PAHS to ask for aid for the older sister of Rosalinda, nevertheless her state health was very serious and she died before we could arrive at the community, but Rosita, that seemed was destined to suffer the same fate, if she did not receive immediate medical attention, had the blessing to recover her health. Then, another tragedy for the baby, her father died and the abandoned mother does not have to whom to resort reason why is maintained to itself gathering sweepings in the streets.
Rosita does not have a stable home to go, that is the reason for her remain in PAHS, the place that has become in her new home, the only home that she knows, and it will continue being while it allows it to God. Thanks to the will of our God, Rosita is now five years old, the same age that had her older sister when she died by malnutrition. But the destiny of Rosita has been different, doubtless God has very special plans for her. Rosita will attend to the kinder garden the next year, and from now she is really excited for going to school.

Arnold is considered like the older brother in the great family of “la casita feliz”, even when he is ten years old, he looks like a five year old, deep rings under the eyes are even seen in his face because of his anemia, this was probably because he used to eat dirt and that probably caused his malnutrition. He is the older brother of four, the three younger ones are girls. Their father was killed two years ago, and their mother had to look for money to buy food. She comes every Sunday to visit her son, “Arnold really helped at home, and they miss him a lot but they want him to recover. They live in a community near to Peña Blanca, called Buenos Aires.
