Thanks to Kabir, now José can go to school with a new back pack.

José is four years old, his family is from a little town in Antioquia, but they have lived in Medellín for 4 years.

He has two older sisters, his mother works in a hotel as housekeeping and his father works as a washman in a factory. José is very pleased with his new backpack!

Javier is four years old and lives in Envigado-Antioquia. He loves to play with toy cars and paint. His family of four, his father, mother and brother makes a meager income of $250 a month from risky day labor.

Now, Javier can look forward to safety and education thanks to Kabir’s donation of a back to school kit.
