Andy's story (no real name)

"Music, art and theater My life"

I was born in the city of Medellín, I am 12 years old, I currently live with my mother, my father lives in the center of the city and sells fruits, with him I have a very good relationship even though my parents separated more than 4 years ago, but with both I share and I love them very much.
I am in La Corporacion Superarse for several years, because my parents have no one to accompany me in my free time before or after my school, before I stayed for long periods of time with my dad in the street or in several public places in the center of the city as parks and libraries, which is dangerous for me.
I really like music and theater, I have participated in cultural presentations in different acts and activities with my classmates. Today I want to give infinite thanks to Superarse by giving me the opportunity to strengthen my tastes and skills in music and theater, the applause on stage are very rewarding and the support of teachers to make me a better child every day is invaluable ...
Today I want all the people who read my story to continue supporting us in the fulfillment of our dreams and that we can fulfill our goals.
