This 8-year-old boy was overwhelmed with joy as he was able to celebrate his first-ever birthday party thanks to his kind-hearted class at school.

Ángel David from Ebéjico, Colombia, is seen overcome with emotion as he is surprised by his classmates with a surprise birthday party on September 12.

His classmates are heard singing "Happy birthday to you" in Spanish before counting to eight.

The heartwarming footage shows the class taking turns to embrace the 8-year-old - even the teachers in the background could not hold back the tears.

Ángel's teacher Casas Ximeno, who filmed the video, told Newsflare: "Ángel David is a child with limited resources and his birthday had never been celebrated.

"His mother says that due to a lack of financial resources, since she has four children, Ángel, as his name says, is a very special child and lacks a lot of affection, he lives in front of the bakery and always comes up to ask about it.

"Within his stories, he told me that he would have a birthday in September, my friend and I already had his birthday in mind.

"Ángel was shocked with a manifestation of astonishment because the idea of ​​celebrating his birthday as something normal and simple filled our hearts with mixed feelings."

In a post on TikTok Ximeno has set up a line of communication for her followers to directly message Ángel's mother.

The videos have racked up almost 10 million views on TikTok with viewers leaving touching comments.

"My passion is crying for strangers on TikTok," one commenter said.

Another said: "Every kid in the world deserves this."

"He will remember this moment for the rest of his life…thank you!" someone else wrote.
