Jeandson is a young Brazilian boy who lives with his parents, Jean and Maria, in the municipality of Caucaia, on the outskirts of Fortaleza, Ceara. Their simple home, which is lent to them, has brick walls, rough cement flooring and a clay-tiled roof. It has a tiny bathroom. Running water and electricity are available. Jean struggles to earn a living as a servant on constructions when available, but his very low income is far from enough to meet even the most basic needs of his family. Jeandson is active, playful and affectionate. He runs small errands for his mom. He likes playing ball in the company of other kids his age. He has a dog and a cat he is fond of. Jeandson is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. He attends a local public preschool where he is making good progress. The family is needy and through your support Jeandson and his family have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, recreation, education and nutrition.
