Happy Birthday Sandra!


Happy Birthday Sandra!, originally uploaded by carf.

Sandra seemed pretty relaxed during her birthday celebration, here with son Patrick. Little did she know that her greatest present was to be the birth of her second son a few hours later.

A Child is Born...


Sandra was one of the first girls I rescued from the streets in 1993 and has been my foster daughter ever since, along with her sister Eliane and two brothers, Jefferson and Vando.

Sandra seems to enjoy the role of mother, her nineteenth birthday present during the early hours of this morning was the birth of her second son.

Her first born, Patrick, seemed quite happy yesterday about welcoming the latest addition to his family. Luckily his father, Marcio, has a fixed job and can support his growing family.

But now Sandra says, no more!
I hope so too!

A Child is Born - III

Congratulations young lady!
Take care of your sons and give them all the love you yourself yearned for as a child.

Abandoned - I
Sandra alone on the streets in the city center. Nobody could care for her future in 1993, until CARF came along and rescued her. Two years of street work was involved before she actually managed to stay off the streets for good.

You know the suffering,
I know the suffering,
we all know the suffering...,
...of a child abandoned to the streets

Exmos. Senhores:

Vimos por intermédio deste e-mail solicitar a vossa permissão para
utilizar uma imagem vossa no nosso programa. No Laboratório de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Multimedia do Instituto de Comunicação e Línguas da
Universidade Ludwig-Maximilian de Munique (Alemanha), estamos a iniciar um projecto de aprendizagem online de Português, com comparticipação do
Estado alemão. Neste sentido, gostariamos de pedir a vossa autorização
para utilizar duas fotos da vossa página ("menino de rua" e "favela") no nosso programa.

Muito obrigada pela colaboração com o nosso projecto!

Com os melhores cumprimentos,

Rita Fabião




Dear Sir,

The Multimedia Research and Development Laboratory of the Department for Communication and Language within the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, Germany, is preparing an online language course for Portuguese. The course is non-profit. In this context we are interested in integrating two images ("menino de rua" and "favela"), originally found on your website, into our online-course.

We would like to ask for your permission to use the contents in our online program.

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards,

Rita Fabião

Basic Scholarships – USD$40.00 - $50.00 per month

Aimed at impoverished younger children participating in our Street Migration Prevention Programme, normally aged between 11 and 14 years of age. This scholarship guarantees their active participation at the Hummingbird Activity Center alongside their essential attendance in public schools. The scholarship helps combat child labor in high-risk families by preventing these children becoming new victims. The scholarship is awarded to those in particularly difficult life situations where survival often becomes a more important factor than the child’s educational needs and mental and physical health. As a regular sponsor you will have the opportunity to stay in contact with your scholarship holder and to follow the changes your sponsorship will be making in this child's life.

Intermediate Scholarships - USD$60.00 - $70.00 per month

This youth scholarship is aimed at developing vocational interests in young people as they grow with our programme, guaranteeing their commitment and eventually leading them on towards an advanced scholarship. A firmer step towards their personal life project. As a regular sponsor you will have the opportunity to stay in contact with your scholarship holder and to follow the changes your sponsorship will be making in this young person's life.

Advanced Scholarship - USD$80.00 - $100.00 per month

Aimed to inspire older youth reach their potential in whatever area they are developing natural or acquired abilities in programmes at the Hummingbird Activity Centre. The scholarship can be used to cover costs for supplementary, external educational courses or for extra training sessions and materials. Such funds would otherwise be an impossible priority for them to obtain within an impoverished family situation. As a regular sponsor you will have the opportunity to stay in contact with your scholarship holder and to follow the changes your sponsorship will be making in this young person's life.
