A little boy in the Philippines who didn’t even have a light to study by at night now has enough scholarship money to see him all the way through college. Fast food chain McDonald’s is the latest to offer him help to pay for his education — and it’s launching a new reading program for his school.
A picture of nine-year-old Daniel Cabrera studying beneath a street light went viral last month, triggering a flood of donations for him and his family. A local politician secured a scholarship for him back in July and McDonald’s announced a new one this month.
The new scholarship will cover Daniel’s school supplies, uniforms, and other expenses until he graduates high school. Along with the other donations and scholarships, he’ll have enough to cover all his educational needs until he graduates from college 13 years from now.
