Juan Carlos was born during the Salvadoran Civil War. Although he and his family were not affected by the violence which tore the country apart, he fell victim to a landmine accident at the age of 5, and lost all four limbs. UNICEF provided him with support and rehabilitation services so he could grow up, graduate from law school, marry and pursue his passion of painting.
To others who face tough challenges, whether it’s a physical disability or a seemingly overwhelming barrier, Juan Carlos has a message: “There are always going to be obstacles in life – some smaller, some larger. People will fall down, but the brave will get back up. Have faith. And persevere. And have hope that you’ll make your dreams come true.”
Every time you make a child thrive, THERE IS HOPE.
For every child, hope.
