Alison loves her new backpack!

Dear Jeffrey,

Alison Toro is 3 years old and lives in one of the most vulnerable neighborhoods in her city of Medelin, Colombia.

She lives in a full house with her mother, uncle, aunt and two cousins. Her father left them when she was born, but her mother and uncle work every day to provide for Alison and her cousins.

Besides her family, there is one thing that Alison loves very much: Princess Stories!

Alison would like to say Thank you, Jeffrey! for her new backpack. She is starting preschool at Carla Cristina, and the notebooks, paper blocks, pencils, watercolors, brushes, crayons, and a toothbrush will help her start her education off right!
