Bedtime Stories Under a Mosquito Net

CARLOS
Dear BRANDI,

CARLOS lives with his father, mother, brother and sister in a  one bedroom mud house with no running water and no electricity.  His father is a mason.  As the primary provider with monthly income of $80, Carlos’s father is not able to cover even the basic family needs. Carlos’ mother is a petty trader who earns a minimum of $50 a month which augments the family income – but this still is not enough.
Carlos enjoys playing football and also loves listening to stories. He would love to go to school as other children in the community.  Sponsorship for Carlos will give him the chance to live a better life.
