Joao Miguel is a young Brazilian boy who lives with his parents, Romario and Raiany, on the outskirts of a city located in the state of Ceara. Their simple home has brick walls, rough cement floors and a clay-tiled roof. It is rented and has a tiny bathroom. Romario takes some odd jobs as an unskilled laborer when available (he is unemployed at this time); his very low income, however, is far from enough to meet even the most basic needs of his family. Joao Miguel is curious, calm, sweet and observant. He likes playing with toy cars in the company of other kids his age. He has a cat he is fond of. Joao Miguel is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. He attends nursery school and loves painting and coloring. Through your support Joao Miguel and his family will have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, education and nutrition.
