Light and Hope with Salvador
Isy Suttie speaks to Salvador Gómez-Colón about bringing Light and Hope to Puerto Rico.
Presenter Isy Suttie speaks to the incredible Salvador Gómez-Colón from Puerto Rico, who at just 15 years old took it upon himself to launch a crowdfunding campaign to help those in desperate need.
The unprecedented disaster completely devastated the island, but through Light and Hope for Puerto Rico, Salvador helped to raise around $175,000 for portable solar lamps and hand-operated washing machines for the residents.
Since the hurricane, Salvador has been recognised as one of Time Magazine’s Most Influential Teens and has been awarded the President's Environmental Youth Award for his social-humanitarian work as well as continuing to spread the message to always do the best we can for others.
This is how Salvador is changing the world…
