Ismael is an outgoing and social young boy. As a student, he is working very hard to earn the best grades he can and is particularly interested in his mathematics class. When he isn't in class, Ismael is usually found outdoors playing soccer with his friends. One day, with an adventurous spirit, he would like to become a pilot and travel the world. Life has been anything but easy for Ismael. He currently is under the care of his grandmother as his parents were unable to meet his needs. She struggles to provide for him the way that he needs, and he often goes without proper care. Sponsorship now gives Ismael access to things like nutritious meals and a continuing education.
