He
explains
that,
“NPH
is
everything
to
me,
it
is
my
first
family,
a
place
where
I
am
happy
and
proud
to
live.
My
NPH
family
has
taught
me
to
fight
for
my
dreams
and
that
I
am
an
important
member
of
our
family
and
our
society.”
During
his
time
in
Seattle,
Rodolfo
hopes
to
learn
about
leadership
and
improve
his
English
abilities.
He
wants
to
be
a
good
representative
of
his
NPH
family
and learn
more
about
the
work
of
Friends
of
the
Orphans
and
others
who
help
NPH.
Following
his
time
in
Seattle,
he
plans
to
study
Economics
or
Accounting
at
the
university
level.
With
this
degree,
he
hopes
to
work
for
NPH
in
the
future
either
in
one
of
the
homes
or
helping
to
raise
money.
He
comments
that,
“in
the
future
there
will
be
many
more
little
brothers
and
sisters, and
I
want
them
to
have
everything
that
I
had
when
I
was
their
age
so
that
they
can
achieve
their
dreams.
It
is
because
of
NPH
that
I
am
who
I
am
today
and
I
am
thankful
to
God,
Father
Wasson
and
everyone
who
supports
our
NPH
family.”

is

and
all
our
supporters
who
make
it

she
will
return

Salvador
to
complete
the
final
two
years
of
her
degree
in
Psychology.
Afterwards,
she
hopes
to
serve
NPH
as
a
psychologist
because
she
feels
that
will
be
a
good
support
for
the
children.
She
has
never
felt
obligated
to
work
for
NPH,
but
rather
does
it
out
of
love
and
gratitude.
She
says,
“I
will
always
be
willing
to
help
meet
the
needs
of
our
home.”Celson (NPH Nicaragua): Celson is currently completing his year of service in agriculture and transportation. Prior to that he completed high school and a professional accounting course. As he looks ahead to the year in Seattle, he hopes to learn more about leadership and improve his English, as well as identifying and learning how to overcome difficulties he may face. He even aspires to have the chance to try his abilities at ice-skating! Celson says, “NPH is unconditional love. To me, this has meant a place where we are secure, protected, where we can trust in people who want the best for us and are willing to come alongside us as we learn to overcome the difficult moments of our past.” Upon returning to Nicaragua next July, Celson plans to enter university to study Mechanical Engineering. After completing his studies, he can see himself working for NPH directly or perhaps becoming a godparent to one of his little brothers. He explains, “as Pequeños, we can never forget that we are part of this large family even when we leave the home. We identify NPH as our family and this makes us proud and grateful to everyone who has helped us.”

abilities.

hopes
to
learn
how
to
overcome
the
obstacles that
come with any
leadership
position.
On
his
application
for
this
program,
Jacinto
wrote,
“I
think
the
most
important
leadership
qualities
in
NPH
are
to
be
patient,
loving,
understanding,
flexible,
keep
the
feeling
of
family.”
Upon
returning
to
Guatemala,
Jacinto
hopes
to
study
Systems
Engineering.
After
completing
his
studies,
he
would
like
to
gain
experience
in
the
workforce
and
then
return
to
NPH
to
work
for
the
well-being
of
our
children.
