<p><span style="color: #000000;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page,</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Most of you know that I lived in Salvador, Brazil at one time in my life, an experience that will stay with me forever. I never have met a group of people as happy, as loving and as humble as those in Bahia, despite their level of poverty. Each year, I try to promote Just Giving in an effort to remember these people who have so very little compared to what we have. The most heartbreaking fact is the situation of abandoned children on the streets of Bahia and all over Brazil:&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 200; line-height: 20px;">7 million children are on the streets of Brazil, 450,000 children abandoned, 1000 children die every year.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p>By donating or getting involved in some way, you can somewhat of a difference, I truly believe that. &nbsp;Nothing makes you feel better inside, than giving of yourself to those who need it so desperately.</p> <p>Warm Regards,</p> <p>Lawrence</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
