I recently posted a story of a young boy named Fred who lives on the streets of Maputo. I want to introduce you to another young man living on the streets of Maputo.
This is Nelson. Here he is posing for the photo with my friend Sarah. Sarah works with an organization that helps these boys return home. You can read her blog here.
This is Nelson with his family and neighbors. Soon he will be living with them again.
I share these photos, because the money raised by my young cousins will help Nelson return home. Their efforts will provide Nelson with clothes, blankets and other necessities as he returns home with his family. This reunion is scheduled for October 2. He will be living with his father and twin sister and plans to return to school in January, when his school fees will be paid and the organization will help with school supplies.
I am glad I was able to make the connection between Mya, Summer, Larissa and Nelson. Hope you enjoyed seeing the result of their efforts.
I don't know who said it, but I like the concept...little things can make a BIG difference!
