This home garden is the first gift he has received through Granitos de Paz and he his very thankful for this support. Financially, Adoreinis does not believe he could take care of a garden since his family does not earn enough to support all the interests of Adoreinis and his siblings.
Adoreinis’ time is divided between his studies and helping his mother with household chores.  He is looking forward to spending time taking care of his new garden! Thank you so much for supporting Adoreinis!
