Samuel is a very young Brazilian boy who lives with his parents, Vanderly and Erilaine, and with two sisters, in a slum area on the outskirts of the city of Belo Horizonte. Their simple home has brick walls, ceramic tile floors and a concrete slab ceiling. It is rented and has a tiny bathroom. Vanderly works delivering goods for a local firm and earns low wages. Samuel is a sweet and docile baby boy. He is being breastfed and also takes some fruit juice. Bright colored and noisy toys attract his attention most. Samuel is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. Through your support Samuel and his family will have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, education and nutrition.
