Meet Jurlyn

In Jurlyn’s own words.

My name is Jurlyn. My birthday is December 11th. I live in Nicaragua with my family and I have an older brother named Miguel. I have two favorite colors: blue and black. My favorite animal is a Tiger. In school, my favorite classes are Math and Language Arts. In my free time, I love to read the Bible.

“Jurlyn loves to read the Bible and his favorite verse is Psalm 23.”

Loves: Math, Bible

The Context

Jurlyn’s world.

Jurlyn 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 Jurlyn lives, tropical downpours turn roads to mud and make schools unreachable for weeks. 19% of children under five have developmental delays from malnutrition.
