Karles’s Helping Hands

Karles loves to help people. His mother says he has a special gift for serving others.

In January 2020 a powerful earthquake hit Puerto Rico. This was a scary time for everyone. Karles and his family had to sleep in their car for many weeks. But Karles kept smiling and jumped into action. He helped give out hygiene kits to others who had lost their homes and to those who were sick and elderly.

Karles also helped out with an international day of service in the Caribbean. He helped people in his branch collect leaves and clean yards. Karles likes to help his parents by washing clothes, working in the garden, and making dough for his favorite food, pizza!
