Though each present these Cape Verdian children get is special, Ismael and Marline have been among the ones who have recently received rather special "suprises" sent to them by their "godparents" (Sérgio and Charlotte respectively).
Sérgio, a Benfica football team supporter, made sure Ismael would get an original Benfica T-shirt, he is proudly wearing in the photo kindly sent to me by Sibylle.
Marline, on the other hand, having shown "exceptional" artistic skills throughout the "Art and Craft" workshops she has attended since 2009, has got among other presents a huge box with artistic materials she will certainly use to express her whole creativity with.
I am particularly happy not only because most of the people in the group of "godparents" have been highly committed to this project, but also because by trying to select the "appropriate" presents we are encouraging them to further develop their own skills and abilities.
