The Cuban reggaeton artist Mawell once again displayed an emotional act of solidarity when he reunited with the boy to whom he had given 2,000 Cuban pesos weeks earlier while the child was selling sweets on the street.
"I told them I would find him again... The boy to whom I gave those 2,000 pesos today received an even better surprise. Obbatalá multiplies it for me later for doing good and helping many," the singer wrote on his Instagram account, along with the video capturing the exact moment of the encounter.
Mawell, who was driving in his car, recognized the boy as he continued to sell his products on the street. Without thinking twice, he stopped the vehicle and asked him if he recognized him, to which the boy responded with a smile.
This time the reggaeton artist gave him 5,000 Cuban pesos, to the surprise and excitement of the minor and promised that the next time he sees him, he will give him 100 dollars.
The singer's gesture triggered a shower of praise from his followers: "These are the actions of good-hearted people, and you are the best; life multiplies this for you"; "God doubles it for you, bro, blessings and greetings"; "Thank you, kid, that's a child who instead of being in a park is fighting for life in Cuba"; "The best at heart, always."
The artist's video also brought to light a sensitive issue, the fact that children in Cuba have to work from a young age to make a living: "I don't understand, how do they allow that child, who is underage, to sell like this, my God, how sad. God bless you", wrote one of her followers in the comments.
