They get water from the lake, uses firewood or charcoal for cooking and candles for lighting or get energy from little solar panel. Ismael is doing health wise well. The boy likes playing football, singing and swimming. In 2023 he is in 2nd call of primary school Island of Hope Humanist School but lost his sponsor. Ismael needs support of 2,400 CZK/100 EUR per term.
