Hope’s Corner

Esperanza messed up. She tried to smuggle drugs through an airport and got caught. However, she learned her lesson. In prison, she didn't waste any time. She got her teaching degree and passed the competitive exam to teach at a public school. Now, she is going to go from smuggling food and hiding knives under her mattress to teaching primary school children. She will soon discover that what she learned in prison will be more useful to her than the exam syllabus. She will also realise that being a teacher is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to her. Perhaps, just perhaps, Esperanza's life would have been different if, as a child, she had met a teacher like her. Barrio Esperanza is the story of all those teachers who left a mark on our lives. And whom we have never completely forgotten...
