Suffering heavy damage in the wake of Hurricane Maria in 2017, Puerto Rican communities lacked access to clean water and electricity. Salvador GoÌmez-ColoÌn couldn't ignore the basic needs of his homeland, and knew that nongovernmental organizations and larger foreign philanthropies could only do so much. With unstoppable energy and a deep knowledge of local culture, Salvador founded Light and Hope for Puerto Rico and raised more than $100,000 to purchase and distribute solar-powered lamps and hand-powered washing machines to households in need. With a voice that is both accessible and engaging, Salvador recalls living through the catastrophic storm and grappling with the destruction it left behind. Hurricane brings forward a captivating first-person account of strength, resilience, and determination, and heralds the start of a new series of compelling narrative nonfiction by young people, for young people"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Hurricane Maria, 2017 $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Disaster relief $z Puerto Rico $v Juvenile literature. 600 10 $a GoÌmez-ColoÌn, Salvador $v Juvenile literature. 830 0 $a I, witness (Norton Young Readers) 941 $a 9 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012449.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020917.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030659.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20221008010646.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518025730.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220429010415.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20220215010142.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220202022037.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210730010039.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6629E6C8F0FB11EB95FCE99C4EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
