In these rough neighborhoods, children are exposed to gangs, violence and drug use early on in their lives, and many are recruited or become involved during this precarious young age. At the same time, this period is an urgently important window of opportunity to inspire students, introduce them to positive role models, and forever change the course of their lives for the better. Such transitional stages of life should be brimming with opportunity and hope &#8211; hope which is personified each and every day by the Comunidad La Esperanza (\u201cCommunity of Hope\u201d) founding mothers, team members and students alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-button.button-2 .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-2 i {color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-2 .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-2:hover .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-2:hover i,.fusion-button.button-2:focus .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-2:focus i,.fusion-button.button-2:active .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-2:active{color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-2:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider, .fusion-button.button-2:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider, .fusion-button.button-2:active .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-2:hover, .fusion-button.button-2:focus, .fusion-button.button-2:active{border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-2 {border-color:#ffffff;border-radius:0px;}.fusion-button.button-2{background: #f44336;}.fusion-button.button-2:hover,.button-2:focus,.fusion-button.button-2:active{background: #f44336;}<\/style><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-custom button-2 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/givebutter.com\/esperanza\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">MAKE A DONATION<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-10 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-content-centered\"><div class=\"fusion-column-content\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-4 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"379\" title=\"esperanza7\" src=\"https:\/\/gophilanthropic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/esperanza7.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-7249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gophilanthropic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/esperanza7-200x117.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gophilanthropic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/esperanza7-400x233.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gophilanthropic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/esperanza7-600x350.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gophilanthropic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/esperanza7.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-7 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling fusion-equal-height-columns\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-11 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-content-centered\"><div class=\"fusion-column-content\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe students are comfortable here \u2013 it\u2019s like a second family. For some of them, it\u2019s almost a first family, given their situations at home. Sometimes they will come and talk to me, share their problems and fears. They need someone to talk to. They are adolescents and there need to be certain limits, but we are encouraged to respect them, listen to them and be as supportive as possible.
