Mathias grows up in a remote community of Cochabamba, Bolivia, that faces many serious difficulties, including life-altering malnutrition, extreme generational poverty, and poor educational services. He is a joyful, playful and caring boy who enjoys playing football. He studies in a local school, where he enjoys his music lessons. His father abandoned the household. He lives with his mom and parents in a modest dwelling made of brick walls, cement floor and corrugated metal roof. They lack sanitation services. His family farms the land for a living. The family monthly income is no more than US $ 130.00, which is lower than the minimum wage and reaching the end of the month is a constant struggle. Sponsorship positively impacts the lives of the children they are sponsored through the simple knowledge that someone cares about their well-being. This gives children in need hope, which is powerful.
