Kevin Manuel's story

Kevin is a 38-year-old person born to a humble family. Thanks to his efforts and desire to get ahead, he began his business with a parking lot in the municipality of Cereté. His spirit of improvement and the tenacity, and strength with which he gets up each day push him to seek new options which allow him to get ahead.
