Melvin Vellos
Melvin is a caring and well-behaved boy who attends Our Lady of the Way RC. He enjoys going to school and learning new things, but sometimes he is unable to attend because heavy rains cause flooding in his yard.
Melvin lives with his family in a small two-bedroom home. His mother is currently unemployed, and at times they struggle to have enough food to eat. Despite these challenges, Melvin remains positive and eager to learn.
Supporting Melvin will help ensure he has the stability and resources he needs to continue his education and grow toward a brighter future.
About my community:
Our Lady of Guadalupe (Belize City)
In this Diocese, there is a Co-Cathedral in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and she is now the patron saint of our CARITAS program in Belize. Sponsors and children will be asking for her intercession asking that more poor children in the diocese can find a sponsor.
About my country:
Belize
Belize is a Caribbean country on the northeastern coast of Central America bordering Mexico and Guatemala. English is the official language, while Creole and Spanish are also very common. Belize’s population is ethnically diverse as refugees from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador began migrating to Belize in the 1980s to escape civil war and political unrest in their countries. This has added significantly to the poverty that is found on the mainland.
