Hector lives in Palmital and is a student at Liceo Miramar. He has received two scholarships from Hijos del Campo which helped him pay for his school supplies, uniform and food throughout the year. Hector is very committed to his studies and gets up bright and early to get to school. His bus leaves at 4:30 a.m. and the trip is around an hour and a half each way. In the rainy season the ride is even longer because of the poor road conditions. Hector hopes to continue on to university after high school.
