Ashley Sarai Betancourt Marin

Hi, my name is Ashley Sarai Betancourt Marin, I'm 5 years old. When I grow up, I dream of becoming a doctor to be able to help people, or a veterinarian because I really like animals. One of the things I like the most about school is learning new things every day, that's why my favorite subjects are art because I love coloring, and math because there's always something different to learn. September 2019, Commune 20 of Cali.

Juan Pablo Beltrán Osorio

Hi, my name is Juan Pablo Beltran, I am 5 years old and I will turn 6 in December. My dream when I grow up is to be a veterinarian or a nurse because I like to help others. In school, what I like the most is that we can learn new things every day, but sometimes I wish they would lend us more toys. My favorite subject is art because I really like to paint, and the other is English because it is very interesting to me how people speak in other parts of the world.

Jeremy Hurtado

"I haven't decided yet what I want to study... I like drawing, I would like to create a shelter for stray animals: to collect them and deliver them to people who can adopt them. I especially like rabbits. Sometimes I also think about being a firefighter to help people when they need assistance."
