Milton Adonay
11 years old / 5th-grade student
Milton loves construction. His dream is to become an architect, and he wants to build their house with the help of the team. He dreams of having his own room where he can study.
Karen is excited about having her own home because with the income from her job, she has not been able to build a house on her own. She currently lives in a small room with three people: her mother, her son, and herself. She is thrilled to finally have a place where her son can grow up.
