Wellington, FL - 1 de agosto de 2014 - Juan Pablo Romero Fuentes, fundador de Los Patojos, el proyecto asociado de JustWorld International en Guatemala, ha sido elegido Héroe de la CNN. El segmento se emite en CNN desde esta noche hasta el lunes y también se puede ver en línea en: https://www.cnn.com/2014/07/31/world/cnnheroes-romero/. El reportaje muestra el programa de Romero Fuentes, que ofrece educación, nutrición, salud y programas culturales a jóvenes de entre 3 y 18 años, así como un lugar seguro alejado de la violencia callejera. Todos los niños que asisten a Los Patojos proceden de hogares desfavorecidos que carecen de los recursos necesarios para atender estas necesidades básicas. Gracias a la ayuda de JustWorld durante los últimos seis años, Romero Fuentes ha podido ayudar a los niños de Jocotenango, proporcionándoles las habilidades que necesitan para cambiar sus vidas. Romero Fuentes fundó Los Patojos a los 23 años en casa de sus padres y desde entonces ha ayudado a más de 1.000 niños ofreciéndoles oportunidades a las que de otro modo no tendrían acceso. "Me siento muy honrado de ser reconocido como Héroe de la CNN porque creo que ya es hora de que nuestra comunidad sea reconocida por nuestro programa de educación alternativa. Esta es la oportunidad de mi vida para hacer visible lo invisible y abrir la puerta a niños con mentes jóvenes para que comprendan el aspecto positivo de la vida. Es hora de amar. Es hora de actuar", dijo Juan Pablo.
