Cristian Hernando

Story

Cristian Hernando is a 27-year-old young man with a cognitive disability from Barrancabermeja, Colombia. He carries the rhythm of the Caribbean in his heart and joy in every step. Cristian is outgoing, enthusiastic and kind. He enjoys meeting new people and spending time with those around him. He is attentive and observant, qualities that allow him to take an active part in all kinds of activities.

He loves music and dance, especially champeta (a Colombian Caribbean music style), through which he expresses all his joy and energy. He also finds in crafts a space to create, and he excels at fine motor and pre-writing activities, where he shows skill and dedication. He works hard to excel at every task and always gives his very best.

We hope we can count on your support to keep Cristian’s dreams moving forward.

My dream is to learn to read and make friends.
