Meet the Santa Inés Family, Villa de las Niñas, Tegucigalpa
About the Santa Inés Family
The Santa Inés Family is a group of 35 girls in Grade 9 at Villa de las Niñas, Tegucigalpa . They are cared for by their Mother-Sister, Sister María Rosa.
Sister María Rosa says that the girls are “very talented, some quieter, others more patient and reserved, and most of them very cheerful. Although they are adolescents and it is a somewhat difficult stage to teach, I like to share with them, listen to them and what we enjoy the most together is sports. They love to play, it is the most effective method I know to keep them healthy, active and in good spirits for study.”
