Omer Eulogio Briceño

This is Omer Eulogio Briceño. He lives with his mom and his older brother (14) in his grandfather's house. Their parents divorced when Omer was still in her mom's womb. Omer is in 3rd grade and loves math.
Omer's mom works very hard to feed her two children. She does laundry for her neighbors, she sells toilet paper on the streets and at night she walks through the streets picking up cardboard boxes, empty plastic bottles and other things that then in turn she sells them to recyclers.


The room where this picture was taken serves multiple purposes: kitchen, dining room and bedroom.
Omer's mom gets very excited when she talks about her dream of their children becoming professionals. She is so thankful for the help she has been receiving from Word Alive in the last 4 years.
Thank you Word Alive for helping change these children's future!
