These are a few of the "not so good" guys of El Cacique with Josefina. I have a heart for these and know He loves them too! I have worked with two families who live the criminal life. It is difficult and dangerous at times. In front of this very house, 2 young men were killed by police in a shoot out last month. The policia's idea of "protect and serve" is to kill "delinquents" with no bother for a trial.
My boy Jason and the water truck. You wouldn't believe how loud the horn is on these trucks! And then, they add a megaphone with a guy screaming "Agua!"
My sweet girl.
This is Erikson. I wrote about him early on. He is a 10-year-old twin who was born with twisted legs and has significant mental retardation. His twin brother, Wilman, is the one responsible for his care while the other family members work. Neither boy has ever attended school. He is sitting in front of his house waiting for his mother to return from work. He sits here nearly every day waiting for her or his father for hours. He is able to "crawl" but needs to be carried most of the time. Sociedad Lucas provided him with pampers so this day he actually has a diaper. Most other days, he sits naked in this spot.
