Reports of six policemen caught shooting and killing the ‘street children’, brought the plight of Brazil’s mass homelessness to the world’s attention. Thousands of children, many as young as three years of age, sleep under cardboard each night, having run to the big cities to escape parental violence, abuse or poverty. “We are doing all we can, feeding thousands of children,” Dr Gammons explained, “But, how I wish we had the finances to do more.” The ECHO team go to the most dangerous and notorious areas of Brazil’s cities taking food, clothing and bedding to the homeless – entering sections even the police are afraid to enter! Nine-year-old Sami, is an example of what your support is accomplishing. She had never in her life owned or even worn a pair of shoes, that is until the ECHO team distributed thousands of shoes, clothes, toys and food packages to the poor and homeless in her city. Your gift today will help us to continue setting up rescue centers
across the world’s poorest cities. |
