Meet Silbino and See What Long-Term Support Makes Possible

Paragraph: Silbino grew up in a Mixtec Indigenous community in rural Guerrero, Mexico. After losing both parents at a young age, his education was repeatedly interrupted, and he eventually left school to work full time. 

At 17, he was welcomed into NPH Mexico and was able to return to school, complete his education, and pursue a new goal: becoming a dentist. Today, he is completing his final requirements and working toward serving his community in Guerrero.
