Meet Dulce

In Dulce’s own words.

My name is Dulce. My birthday is July 24th. I live in Nicaragua where I go to school. My favorite colors are black and white. My favorite animal is a squirrel. I love studying and learning English at school. In my free time, I love to read, especially history and fantasy books.

“In the future, Dulce wants to study law and become a civil lawyer.”

The Context

Dulce’s world.

Dulce lives in Granada, Nicaragua — one of the oldest colonial cities in the Americas. Behind the painted facades and cobblestone streets, families in the surrounding barrios survive on less than $10 a day.

63% of Nicaraguans live in poverty. In the barrios where Dulce lives, tropical downpours turn roads to mud and make schools unreachable for weeks. 19% of children under five have developmental delays from malnutrition.

Someone already walks with Dulce. Other children in the program are still waiting for a name to say yes.
