Francisco is at the orphanage along with his brothers Victor and Jesus. Francisco and Victor came from the prison where they had been living with their mother. Their father is also in the prison. The authorities had tried several times to remove the children from the prison and put them in a more suitable environment, but for different reasons were unable to.
One day the father beat one of the boys, and was put in an isolation cell. Taking advantage of this situation, the authorities removed the boys and brought them to the orphanage.
The boys go into the prison once every two weeks to visit their parents, and after a few visits, their parents noticed positive changes in them. As a result, the parents requested that their older brother, Jesus, also come to the orphanage.
Francisco is a very normal little boy, and loves to play with the other children in the home. It is a pleasure to hear him pray at meal time, and to see other positive growth in him as he absorbs the teaching he receives.
