My name is Pablo. I think I’m a lucky boy. I have a good family, and we live in a nice neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.   (1)  We have beautiful beaches, hotels, restaurants, shopping and sports.

However, in my beautiful hometown, there are also very poor neighborhoods. These areas are crowded and have a lot of crimes.   (2)  Some don’t really have a childhood because they’re homeless and live on the streets. They don’t have education. They don’t have enough food. Many use drugs (毒品) or have illnesses or mental (心理上的) problems.

Last year, I came back to Puerto Vallarta from my university in Mexico City. I spent one year as a volunteer with an organization called Outreach International. They have several programs.   (3)  

I worked in a home for street children. At this home, the boys have a place to sleep and three meals daily. The home keeps the boys off the streets.   (4)  As a volunteer, I helped to prepare meals. I taught games — such as basketball, football and art. I helped the kids with their homework. These kids can be fun, but they’re also really hard to deal with. Their experiences on the streets make them strong and not always “sweet little children.”

At the boys’ home, I met two other volunteers — Brian from Canada and Greg from Australia. (5) .

We were the same age, came from good homes and had a good education. They were both college students, like me. We became very good friends. Now, we email each other.

It was the best — and most difficult — year of my life. I learned a lot that year.
