Three of us (Henriqueta, Lurdes and I) will be travelling to Cape Verde by the end of the month and amongst our "assignements" is a visit to the ICCA (Cape Verdian Institute for Children and Adolescents) centre of emergency, with the aim of handing out a fairly large amount of children's clothes and nappies, under primary importance request.
We shall be accompanied by a Parliamentary deputy in what may well be the begining of a committment to further helping this Centre. Most of the things which will be handed out have been kindly provided by Celeste.
I have also been given Nolita's birthday presents (a dress, a little red cotton cardigan, a red heart-shaped bag, some sandals and a reading book) bought by her "godmother" Filipa. Lurdes and I have also bought a new two piece birthday outfit for Elcy to which we have added some earrings to go with it and a personalised wallet with her photo on (made by Lurdes herself).
In the wise words of Sir Winston Churchill "We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give".
