Esny

Esny is a 15-year-old student in 6th grade who lives with her parents and her six younger siblings. As the oldest, she carries a great deal of responsibility at home. When her parents go to work in the fields, Esny stays behind to care for her brothers and sisters.

At school, her favorite class is Bible because she says she learns how to love others. She is especially strong in Science class, but she would like to improve in Math. Esny enjoys drawing in her free time, and her favorite food is pepián, a traditional Guatemalan dish. She hopes to become a chef one day because she truly enjoys cooking. Being together with her family brings her happiness and hope. Today, she is thankful because God has given her another opportunity to be at Chispas of Change.
