One of the MOST interesting overseas guests we have had! Jonathan
R. Almonte was part of a sponsor child program and grew up in the
crime-ridden ghettoes of Dominican Republic.





Disowned by his father, having to borrow school clothes from a
friend, a dump diver and almost ending up in gangs and jail....
he turned his life around thanks in part to the letters from his
Compassion International sponsors and now inspires tens of
thousands of youth.
