Jasuel Rivera is a 13-year-old boy with a very special story. Since he was little, his parents faced a difficult financial situation, and his mother also had to travel frequently to feed her family. Jasuel didn’t even go to school.
For this reason, for some time now, Jasuel has lived in the house of Juan Adames, who gave him a home and enrolled him in school. But in addition to this change in his life, he had a great idea that turned him into a child greatly admired by all his people.
As a game, Jasuel began to build machines with boxes, empty containers, ropes and other elements that he rescued before they ended up in the trash.
Soon he began to show them to his adoptive family and his teachers, and they all realized that Jasuel was building complex hydraulic robots, something surprising especially since he started making them without any instructions, using only his own inventiveness.
The machines he builds can be operated with various controls, and feature cranes, grapples, and lifting systems that would command the admiration of any engineer. In addition, they do not use batteries or electricity, but use hydraulic mechanisms built with disposable syringes.
This boy used his imagination, his will and the materials that others discarded to build incredible things.
What could we accomplish if we all worked together in the same way?
