What are the Kaya Graduates doing now?
Update on the Kaya Graduates
After being prepared in Kaya's Transition-to-Independence Program to live independently, the young adults who grew up in Kaya's Residential Program transition out or graduate from being under Kaya's formal supervision, though they remain a part of the Kaya Family forever. Here is an update on what some of the young men are doing since graduating from the Kaya Programs:
Daniel
Daniel was one of the first young men to graduate from the Kaya Residential Program in 2012 after arriving to Kaya at age 9. Daniel just completed his 1st year at university where he is studying Education. He works as the House Parent in Kaya’s residential home, “Casa Juvinil” with boys ages 16-20. Daniel is thankful for the second opportunity that Kaya gave him.
Ariel
Ariel joined the Kaya family in 2003 at age 12. Since graduating from Kaya in January of 2013, Ariel has continued his studies at a local university to be a Physical Education Instructor. In January, he started his 5thand final year of university. He is currently working hard to finish his thesis. At night and on the weekends he works at a restaurant. Ariel loves to play sports and is a talented athlete.
Marco
Marco was one of the first boys to enter the Kaya family in December of 2001 at age 10. He graduated from Kaya in June of 2013. Marco is currently finishing his 2nd year of university studying Business Administration. He also works at “Chocolandia” selling chocolate and other sweets. Marco enjoys running, and he recently got a puppy that he named Denali, that loves to run with him.
Henry
Henry came to Kaya in 2003 at age 13. Henry is finishing his 3rd year of university studying Psychomotor Activity. Henry works part-time in Kaya’s residential home, “Casa Betania” with boys who are 13-16 years old. Henry enjoys working with the boys in "Casa Betania" and thinks it is important to support children who have similar stories and background to his.
Kaya supporters have provided a family and a future for each one of these young men who at one time called the streets their home. Your continued support will allow Kaya to continue to rescue children from the streets and provide them with housing, clothing, food, medical care, protection, love and a future.
On behalf of all the Kaya graduates and all the Kaya graduates to come, THANK YOU for your generosity! Your support truly makes a difference…one child at a time!
