Alex is the only one is his family with a job

Thank you for supporting The Association for the Cohesive Development of the Amazon (ADCAM), which provides youth in Manaus, Brazil the chance to reach their utmost potential. Your donation gives a youth apprentice like Alex the supplies they need for one semester in the Youth Apprentice Program. Alex is grateful for such assistance and provided a message below:

My name is Alex. I’m 21 and I live in a little house in the neighborhood of Mauazinho. There are seven people in my household including my parents, three younger siblings, and my older sister and her 11-month old baby. My parents are out of work and I’m the only one working. I finished high school and I have an internship with a company where I receive minimum wage. I enrolled in the business administration course with the hopes I might get permanent employment with the company or perhaps with one of their suppliers. I’m so happy to have this opportunity and I plan to make the best of it.

Thank you, Vivek and Pooja, for giving Alex this opportunity!
