Amel / Algeria
My name is Amel, i live in northern africa in algeria. and what I am going to tell you is proof that the dreams are feasible. I am zin zumba instructor and I met claudia by becoming zumba friends on facebook in 2013. Our friendship first forged on the internet and one day I decided to realize my first dream of little girl, selling the only property I had, my car, for pay my trip to the USA, exactly to miami and orlando to participate in my first convention Zumba Fitness. of course encouraged by my friend claudia I landed in miami like a bird released from his cage, but a bird that did not smile at ease because had a childhood complex, his dentition. in the middle of a visit to miami, claudia tells me her story with her braces and her evolution and change, and she as a great diplomat with a great sense of communication and in order not to hurt me , asks if in my country one could realize the braces. I say yes but expensive , and as an angel falls from heaven she tells me that maybe she could help me. as promised a few months after my return home, claudia announces to me , that I was part of the program of assistance for the financement of braces. today I am in the 9th month of my braces and what a relief to be able to open his mouth without complex and to make a largest smile especially for my students in class of zumba because as it is said smile is contagious. I would never cease to be grateful to all those who have participated from afar or near to this primordial change in my life. a big thank you to the foundation, a big thank you to my angel falls from the sky.

Looking forward to seeing you at the events with my open photo booth where the pictures that I take and sell will be money donated to her cause.
