Pablo is a young Brazilian boy who lives with his mother, Rafaela, and with a younger sister, in a slum area on the outskirts of a city located in the state of 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. The father has abandoned the home and has not been providing any type of financial support for his children. Rafaela is unemployed at this time and has been receiving some aid from a relative. Pablo is playful, affectionate and polite. He is also a studious boy. He helps his mom by shopping for small items at a nearby grocery store. His favorite pastimes include playing soccer and tag. He has a dog he is fond of. Pablo is considered to have good health. He attends a public school and his favorite subject is math. His big dream is to become a professional soccer player when he grows up. The family is needy and through your support Pablo and his family will have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, recreation and education.
