"My name is Brayan, I am 18 years old, I was born in Bogota, I had to come to Medellin, since my parents began their rehabilitation process, despite everything we grew up in an environment very respectful. 
we have always been street sellers of brooms and mops, made by my parents. 

I met the Superarse Corporation and this gave me protection and I learned about my talents with music and urban dance, as I learned also taught others; I currently receive support from the Corporation with independent living program, which has given me a great opportunity to start my university studies through a scholarship in the career of Marketing Management at the University CEIPA.

My parents studied Biblical Theology and now live in peace without addictions or problems moving forward and fighting for the goals we have set as a Family ".
