He prefers staying at home instead of attending school because of harsh bullying that he has endured in the past. Due to his sporatic attendance at school, at age 14 he is only in grade 2.
Jomel is the youngest of four children. All of his older siblings are married but still live with his parents and their own families in the dumpsite area. Their father earns a meager wage as a Day Laborer. With so many family members to support, Jomel's parents are under a great financial strain.
When Jomel learned of one of his former neighbors and friends being at WHY he was optimistic about his chance to finish his education in a safe enviroment. His mother and father are hopeful for Jomel's success. Jomel dreams of becoming a police officer so that he can help his family financially and "catch criminals and bad people".
Please pray for Jomel as he adjusts to his new home and family. Also pray for him as he faces his fear and returns to school.
Jomel is in need of monthly sponsors, please consider committing to him.
