Meet Uriel. He grows up in a farming community of Cochabamba where life is a constant struggle. This playful, caring and lively boy has much fun playing with building blocks and riding a bike. He enjoys the company of his dog. He is enrolled in preschool. He dreams of becoming a firefighter one day. He lives with his parents and 3 siblings in a rudimentary dwelling made of adobe walls with corrugated metal roof. While they have electricity and running water, they lack proper sanitation services. His father works as an electrician, while his mother is a secretary. The family income comes to US $ 318.00, which is not enough to cover the basic needs. Bolivia is among the poorest countries in Latin America, where extreme poverty particularly affects rural areas. By sponsoring this child, you will make a friend for life. As you get to know him through photos and letters, you will see with your own eyes the positive difference you are making in his life.
