Kid Takeover

For November, Gabriele is handing over his monthly note to . . . our young people! They had a lot to say on the occasion of our 75th Anniversary Gala two weeks ago, and we wanted to let them share their stories with all of you. 

"Ciao a tutti. My name is Michael, and I am from Rome. I have been here at La Repubblica dei Ragazzi for two years. I made some mistakes in my life and now, thanks be to God, I am doing well thanks to the opportunity you gave me." ​

"Selam! My name is Nimeni. Before I became a part of this program, I was facing a lot of problems, like a lack of materials for my education. I didn't attend school regularly because I had to help my family. Now, I have the chance to attend school every day."

"Hi! I am Priva. I've been staying here since 2009, because I lost my parents. Now I'm studying to be an English teacher, and after I complete that I will do an MA in literature. Whatever I do today, it is all because Ashraya [our program partner] and many good-hearted sponsors like you."

"Hola, greetings from Bolivia. My name is Alfredo. I've been coming to the Center [our partner program] since I was invited by an educator. Before I started attending the Center, I used to work with my family picking up bottles and cans to recycle. From my first day at the Center, I received a lot of support with my school work, with my education and in my personal development. Congratulations on your 75th Anniversary."
