Hurricane - My Story of Resilience

Angebote / Angebote:

Suffering heavy damage in the wake of Hurricane Maria in 2016, Puerto Rican communities lacked access to clean water and electricity. Salvador Gómez-Colón couldn't ignore the basic needs of his homeland, and knew that nongovernmental organizations and larger foreign philanthropies wouldn't be able to address these issues as well as he could. He founded Light and Hope for Puerto Rico and raised more than $100, 000 to purchase and distribute solar-powered lamps and hand-powered washing machines to households in need. With a voice that is both accessible and engaging, Salvador recalls living through the catastrophic storm and grappling with the destruction it left behind. Hurricane brings forward a captivating first-person account of strength, resilience, and determination, and heralds the start of a new series of compelling narrative nonfiction by young people, for young people.
