Nicolas is a very young Brazilian boy who lives with his parents, Francisco and Adice, and with a sister, in a small rural village located in the interior of the state of Ceara, which is a hot and remote region. Their simple home has brick walls, rough cement floors and a clay-tiled roof. It is self-built and has a tiny bathroom. Francisco tries to earn a living as a day laborer in agriculture, but his very low income is far from enough to meet basic needs. Nicolas is a sweet and active baby boy. He is starting to crawl and sits with support. He takes bottles as well as solid foods like corn pap and vegetable soup. He likes playing with colorful and noisy toys. Nicolas is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. Through your support Nicolas and his family will have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, education and nutrition.
