Werrisson is a young Brazilian boy who lives with his parents, Antonio and Flaviana, and with two sisters and two brothers (one is his twin), 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. Antonio is unemployed at this time and takes some odd jobs when available; his low income, however, is far from enough to meet basic needs. Werrisson is playful and active. He likes playing with toy cars in the company of his brothers and other kids his age. Werrisson is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. He attends nursery school and loves painting and coloring. The family is needy and through your support Werrisson and his family will have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, recreation, education and nutrition.
