Joao is a very young Brazilian boy who lives with his parents, Francisco and Bruna, and with a brother, on the outskirts of a city located in the state of Ceara. Their simple home has brick walls, ceramic tile floors and a clay-tiled roof. It is self-built and has a tiny bathroom. Francisco works washing cars and earns very low wages. Joao is lively, curious and sweet. He likes playing with balls and toy cars, and just running around. He is fond of animals, especially dogs and cats. Joao is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. He is still too young to attend school. Through your support Joao and his family will have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, education and nutrition.
