The last presents for the children of Calheta, Cape Verde




These seem to be the last presents for the children of Calheta. Some of the things handed in or received today may have to wait till the next time, as the "godmothers" who are travelling there are overweighed already, but we have made sure all of the children "contemplated" in this project get something similar and the ones, whose birthdays will be through to the end of April get their birthday presents, as previous experiences have proved that sending those for them by post takes a lot longer than one would expect.




A book for Nélida bought by Catarina















Football Club of Porto outfit for Kevin which pertained to his "godfather" Luis as a child.













 Presents for Lucia (left) and Rivia (right) bought by Carla Cordeiro and I respectively






Presents for Mena bought by Silvia 






A huge box with Friendship bracelets to be made, sent to me by postal service from Marie Hélène for Jocelyne, as well as a significant number of bags and stationary material kindly offered by Carla Cordeiro for the children, will have to stay behind till next time, for there is no space nor weight left for the three "godmothers" to carry them this time.


 




I would like to openly thank all of the people who have not only joined this project but also shown to care for these children. 

May they be blessed for their commitment and generosity. I strongly believe the children who are now being helped won't let them down in the future.
