Luis: An extraordinary young man

By Carlos Smith | Project Leader

Luis is the living image of willpower and youth participation. Originally from Barraza, he joined Enlaces 5 years ago when he was only 10 years old. Since then, he has been an example of commitment, dedication, and passion for service for all of us.

For Luis, there is no challenge, project, artistic or community initiative that he cannot face. Each new challenge is assumed with his usual energy and contagious enthusiasm. Luis has not only contributed significantly to the realization of our projects, but he has also inspired other students to do the same.

In addition to being an excellent dancer, committed student, great son, and friend, Luis is a leader who shines with his own light in our organization.

In 2022, his big opportunity arrived. Luis was invited by UNICEF to offer some words at an event focused on childhood and adolescence, alongside the President of the Republic! This achievement not only filled his mother, teachers, and classmates with pride, but it also reminded us of the immense talent, strength, and potential that lies within the children and adolescents of our neighborhoods.

Luis is a clear proof of the maxim that motivates us at Enlaces: when opportunity and talent meets, wonderful things happen. We are grateful to be able to accompany boys and girls who, like Luis, dream of transforming their communities.

Thank you, Luis, for being a leader, star volunteer, and a role model for all of us!
