Kevin is a young Brazilian boy who lives with his parents, Francisco and Elisabeth, and with a sister, in a small community located in the state of Ceara. Their simple home, which is rented, has brick walls, ceramic tile flooring and a clay-tiled roof. It has a tiny bathroom. Running water and electricity are available. Francisco struggles to earn a living as a servant on constructions when available, but his very low income is far from enough to meet even the most basic needs of his family. Kevin is affectionate and obedient. He helps his mom by putting his toys away. He likes playing soccer and with toy cars in the company of other kids his age. He has a dog he is fond of. Kevin is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. He attends a local public preschool where he is making excellent progress. He says that he will be a police officer when he grows up. The family is needy and through your support Kevin and his family will have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, recreation and education.
