José (6 years) and his brother Toni (4 years), started attending House of Ants in May this year. The local government council asked if we could care for them. Their father and mother are separated, and their maternal grandmother is taking care of them, but sadly she is alcoholic and is seen daily at the rubbish dump. As you can imagine, living with their grandmother in this situation is not good. When the neighbours realised that the boys were living in this situation, they contacted the counsel and asked if House of Ants might be able to help support the boys. As they live quite close to House of Ants, every day, (including weekends and holidays), they come and play together with the resident children. We provide meals for them each day, and they return home to sleep. Sadly most mornings they arrive unwashed.
