Thiago is a young Brazilian boy who lives with his paternal grandparents, Damiao and Irenilde, and with an aunt, in a small rural community located in the state of Ceara, Northeastern Brazil. Their simple home has brick walls, ceramic tile floors and a clay-tiled roof. It is self-built and has a tiny bathroom. The parents have separated and live in different areas. Damiao receives a very small pension, which is far from enough to meet basic needs. Thiago is lively and cheerful. He likes playing with toy cars in the company of other kids his age. Thiago 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 Thiago and his family will have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, education and nutrition.
