Kristel is the third of six children in her family. She lives with her parents and siblings in a cement house with a metal roof in La Gomera, Guatemala. Kristel is in grade two at the school in her village. Some of her favourite pastimes are playing ball games, playing dolls, and going to the river with her cousins and siblings. Kristel's favourite foods are french fries and chicken. Sponsorship enables children to attend class every day and have the supplies they need to complete their education, grow up healthy, and achieve their dreams.
