My name is Nelson, I'm 8 years old, and I am from a very small town, many hours away from Medellin, Colombia. Now we are in Medellin, so that my mother can work, We share the house with many other people, with my mother and younger brother, my mom works selling flowers in the street, in order to pay for a room in the house we live in. Every day my brother and I go to the Corporación Superarse, where they give us a lot of support, they give us food, clothes, they help us to study, they take care of us and they take us to the doctor, they also help my mother.
I went to camp with my classmates and we had a lot of fun, I learned to swim, and was taught about the value of true friendship and honesty, and other things like that.
During my time here, every day we go happy because they take care of us a lot and make us parties, give us gifts, learn and always help us in whatever we need, my teachers and counselors give me for free everything we need and worry about my well being and my growth. My brother and I, know that we have to study to work and help my mom later.
For Christmas,. I would like some headphones to listen to music and a skateboard for my brother and for my mom I would like something that would make her happy.
