According  to Gabriel, it’s all started 6 year ago in Bolivia during his schooling. He was passionate about tennis. He switched his day school and sifted to night school so that he can practice during the day and study in night. Night  class made a huge impact on him. During the class he seen many of his classmates were working during the whole day and just  to only fulfil his daily basic needs as they didn’t  have financial support.

This was the turning point where Mr. Gabriel decided to help poor students.

DURING THE DAY TO AFFORD THEIR BASCI NEEDS. IT WAS VERY EVIDENT THAT THESES

IMPOVERISHED STUDENT  LACKED OPPORTUNITY

AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT”

 

Gabriel started looking the way so that he can help these poor students. During his night school in Bolivia Mr. Gabriel met  with artisans who are making most beautiful backpacks and its impressed Mr. Gabriel.

According to Mr. Gabriel “Those handmade backpacks were so beautiful that impressed me a lot. I was impressed with craftsmanship of these bags”

 

Mr. Gabriel decided to bring one backpack for his American friend named Van and he also loved it too much.

 

“It was then that I thought of the idea to sell these amazing backpacks and donate a portion to the money to help both the artisans and the students next door.”

 

He figured out  everything that how to make this idea possible, he had decided to a model to raise the fund and make a bigger impact  .
