MY FAMILY:

I live with my parents and my siblings. My dad’s name is Mauricio, my mom’s name is Maribel, and my siblings are: Karol and Esteban. To support my family my dad works as a body guard.

MY HOME & COMMUNITY:

Our house has three bedrooms and one bathroom. It is made of roof tiles and concrete. It is located in “Altos de la Florida,” a neighborhood in Soacha, Colombia. We have electricity,  but there is no waste management. Water arrives twice per week, and we have to collect  it in containers to use it for cooking, bathing, and drinking. The weather is cold and the streets are unpaved.
