Actually, I wasn't supposed to write anymore, but I just wanted to write my last post about this little kid named Guilherme. Guilherme is one of the 2-year olds that I worked with this summer. So, Guilherme is 2 and he has a brother and a sister (they are older than him). He is currently malnourished and so are his siblings. Their mother is single and the four of them live inside one of those cardboard kinda houses. He is the sweetest thing I've ever laid eyes on ❤️ So, during my weeks volunteering there, he got really attached to me. I got attached to him too. I started to learn more about him and we found out that his mom didn't have any money for groceries. Coincidently enough, the lady that assists my grandma lives close to Guilherme and his family, therefore, she gave us more info on his family.
I bought him new shoes, new clothes, and underwear. We also bought things for his siblings. Mom gave some of her clothes to Gui's mother as well. Now, every two weeks my mom gives them groceries.
I was supposed to take him to the mall to play with him in a game/arcade area we have, but he was scared to go because he has never been in a car before.
I am so so thankful and lucky to have done Summer of Service this summer, because I got to meet this amazing child ❤️
Hope you guys had as great of an experience as mine!
Andrea:)
