Touching Thursday: Brazil Edition

I received the packets for three precious kiddos from Brazil. 

Both of the girls attend project BR-417. My little Dafyne attends this project and many other O.Cers sponsor in this project too. BR-417 is located in the Fortaleza area, which is known for it's prostitution of very young girls, sometimes girls even as young as 5 years old. BR-417 is doing amazing work in the lives of the families in this community. 

The little boy attends project BR-422, which is located near Rio de Jinero. This community is located very near the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It says in the information for BR-422, that 40% of the children enrolled in the project are too young to be enrolled in school. They are a very new project and I'm sure there are so many cute little ones running around the project. Can't you just imagine it? 

Here are the kids needing sponsors:
