Spotlight Amiguitos Teen - Omar FEB 2010

Omar is 17 years old and attends public high school.   He is very active in the Amiguitos Community Center and is President of the Youth Group which includes all the  teens in the center.  They have been raising funds through selling flavored ice and recently took all the younger kids from the center on the tourist bus ride through the city.  He hopes to attend culinary school and recently the Youth Group has decided to do a community project to start a bakery.  We are looking for sponsors ($850 USD) to provide the oven and other equipment needed to start the project.  The teens have already raised over $300 USD to provide flour and ingredients for the new student bakery.  Omar lives with his mother Teresa, younger brothers Cesar and Enrique and his younger sister Sugey.   He is an incredibly hard worker and has been active in every construction project at the center, including recently helping to build the retaining wall at the permanent school/center site.  In December Omar was kind enough to stand in for Victor at the 15th birthday celebration.  See more about Omar and his friends at www.AMIGUITOS.net where new photos are posted every week.
