I wish to be an army officer
Samuel is a 12-year-old boy who was diagnosed with bone cancer. His greatest wish was to become an officer in the Colombian army. Samuel had a day full of joy and meaning as he got to don his own military uniform, meet some of the troops and get to witness various drills and training exercises up close. We hope Samuel’s wish inspires him to look to the future and helps him cope on his treatment journey.
