David currently lives with his ex-stepfather's mother and one of his sisters from Venezuela. He struggles with motor and language problems resulting from a childhood experience with meningitis. His learning process is slower, and he sometimes experiences short and long-term memory difficulties. Due to these circumstances, he requires constant school supervision. However, David stands out for his charming personality, friendly manner and constant smile. He actively participates in all the activities offered by the ONG Altos Menga and especially likes soccer. He dreams of becoming an outstanding soccer player. EMPOWER's intervention has been essential for the child to learn basic skills, such as writing his name, reading simple words and doing simple additions. These achievements have been vital for his inclusion in the regular education system. Your sponsorship will greatly impact his life for a better future!
