Last August, 1 traveled with a group of volunteers to Tres de Mayo, a small community near Tela，Honduras to help renovate（整修）a community centre, and I often could not help but think about the hardships they faced day to day, all factors considered to place children at risk for problems later in life．
During my stay there, I had plenty of opportunities to interact and work with local children．One young boy in particular，Javier, 17, stood out for me. Later I realized that his father had left a year earlier for the U.S , and the family had not heard from him since then. Lacking of money, his mother had to find work elsewhere, but unfortunately could not afford to take all four children, so Javier with his little brother was left behind.
Many of the children we met in Tres de Mayo were in similar situations. But the children tried their best to help out with the construction, and the building of this centre served as an important opportunity for them to learn from the adults·
I still remember the look in Javier’s eyes, as they welled up with tears when we told him we were leaving. One of the volunteers held him close, but it did little to console him，because he had already experienced so much loss, and it was hard to realize that our departure was adding to the list.
As I looked beyond Javier, I could see many men and women whom Javier looked up to, depended on, and gathered strength from. I did know that without parents to raise him, he was not left alone. Instead, the adults in the community took the responsibility for the care of their collective young.
In many north American cities we barely know our next door neighbors, let alone members of our community. How can people outside the family possibly play a central role in upbringing(养育)？
