The gift of being together: Six siblings reunited at SOS Bolivia enjoy new family life
“We get in contact with the other foster care homes and they identify siblings who are separated,” he says. “They know that at SOS Children’s Villages Bolivia, the siblings will be together, and that contributes to their well-being.”
Being together, as a family
The Alvarez children are happy to share life with one another after many years apart.
Maria, the eldest sister, says having her four sisters and one brother with her is a treasure. For one of the youngest sisters, Daniela, a birthday surprise is one of her most cherished memories.
Cecilia considers the “family days”, along with playing tea party with her younger siblings, as some of her favourite activities. Diego, the only boy, who enjoys school and likes playing football, appreciates having the company and protection of his sisters.
Julia, the youngest, values most that they are together now. “We are a big family. What I like most is just being together as family.”
