WE FULFILLED THE DREAM OF A TEN-YEAR-OLD CHILD

Miguelito is the oldest of four brothers, 8, 7 and 2 respectively. He is 10 years old and he studies at Fe y Alegria School of Pueblo Nuevo, in Chincha and his favorite pastime is soccer. Each afternoon, after finishing his homework, Miguelito used to meet with his friends to play soccer on a small soccer court, which is now full of rubble.

The earthquake took his house away and something else: the illusion of a child. He does not have where to play soccer pichanguitas (matches) in the afternoons or on weekends.

His dad, Edan Santos Martinez, a persevering leader of that popular neighborhood, asked Peruanitos Foundation for help and we immediately arranged that Miguelito and his father could travel to Lima that night (Saturday October 13), to see the soccer match Peru-Paraguay at U Stadium.

The smile came back to Miguelitos face, who very excitedly said that it was his biggest dream and he thought it was unattainable.
