For his effort in improving himself, Juan Carlos is the Participant of the Month of September

Juan Carlos is the oldest son in his family. He is 9 years old, going into 4th grade in primary school and helps out with his younger brother Isac at Codeni. His parents work in the informal commerce sector in the downtown area of Guadalajara and he accompanies them. In the evenings he works downtown packing bags in the commercial center.

He likes math class a lot, but not so much Spanish class, nevertheless he has put in a lot of effort to obtain higher grades by actively participating in Codeni’s homework club. Juan also enjoys the reflection workshops where he has learned about how self-control and anti-violence are important in order to co-exist with his peers and the other people who surround him.

Because of all the effort that Juan has put into improving himself on a day to day basis, he has been nominated the Participant of the Month for September.
