He is Jesus, and we lovingly call him "chuchin", he joined Pintando Caminos when he was 2 years old. Today he is 16 years old and besides studying, working on weekends and vacations with his father in construction work, he is part of a cycling team.
He has competed in several events and has managed to stand out in his competitions. Last month his bike broke and Pintando and some friends gave him a new one.
For this last tournament that took place outside of Bogota, we also gave him some money so that the whole family could accompany him on his adventure.
Chuchin learned to ride the bike going up the hill of Ciudad Bolivar when he went to work with his father when he was a child. The rides take an hour or two depending on the distance.
For him his best vacation plan is and has been to go with his dad. Because he accompanies him and also because he rides his bike.
Thanks to all of you, we can see these children fulfilling their dreams and doing things differently.
Pd.His mother an sister, who is 18, work at Pintando.
