The happiness behind a gesture ...


I have just been sent a few photos from Calheta, which (needless to say) convey the happiness of four families who were given some second-hand clothes that had been collected amongst some of  my colleagues and later sent by postal parcel to Cape Verde.

How a little gesture can turn some of people's moments into "moments of happiness" ...
