A hero is a person who cares about people, a person who has problems and does something about it. Our hero has these characteristics, and he is a priest. His name is Ernesto Sanchez Ordoñez.

He found "Nazaret Home" which is a borderhouse. It is located in El Castillo, Veracruz, Mexico. It is a place where voluntary people take care of children who don't have enough resources to study and have a better life.

He created the borderhouse, in 1985, because he wanted to help children to have more oportunities. He was inspirated from Saint Juan Bosco, who cares about the kids.

This boderhouse is supported by divine providence and generous people. They give children protection and good education.

Everybody can be a hero, we just need hope, passion, and dreams.
