New School Year = New Start

September has brought a new school year for the boys, and we are happy to announce that they are all in school! Many of them had dropped out or been kicked out by the end of last year, but they are taking the new school year as an opportunity for a fresh start. Most of the boys attend Integracion Juvenil, a non-profit institution specifically for troubled kids to keep them off the streets. Domingo attends Chocolatera and Alberto goes to a night school twice a week. They have been provided with uniforms from DOVE and some generous sponsors, and are looking forward to learning both in school and in Dove's weekly english classes.

Pictured are Junior, Domingo, and Jose on the way with Liz to get their uniforms, donated by Hal and Kim Chrisman. You can read about their experiences that day with the boys HERE.
