Beautiful Children of Cascalheira

The past two Sundays we took four children each time to the mercado. We picked them up from Cascalheira at 8 AM. They were truly in their Sunday's best. Clean, combed and dressed and so very happy. Eating was first. Bellies full we continued on. They were excellently behaved, gentle with each other and with the goods. Look at these pictures, they are like any other child. You would never know they were from poverty and no opportunities.
How sweet is this? Stephanie cleaning Daniela's face.


A vendor with her son posing with us. She kept blessing us for taking these children to the mercado.


Flip flops for each one!


Daniel, Stephanie, Daniela and Francisco. Back home with their goods. We got the best hugs from them and they truly meant it.


First time on a trampoline for Regina and Tamiris.


After the trampoline they were ready to eat.


Odeilson and Felepe. Great boys with their new caps.


Another great Sunday for another great four kids!
