Bladimir Gomez came to our Help and Hope Center for refuge as well as help with homework. His deformity caused by fibrous dysplasia made him an object of ridicule. Andean Aid teamed with International Kid's Fund to provide seven extensive surgeries over a two year span to correct the condition.

Carmen Alicia Rozo grew up in Villa Baharaque, a poor village outside Rubio, Venezuela. She attended the Help & Hope Center we established there, and went on to graduate high school and college. Today, she's a teacher at our private school and at the same Help & Hope Center she attended.
