Backpacks in Brazil



This is Adriana, one of the coolest people I know. She just got back from Brazil where she held this little girl whose silent tears streamed down those tiny cheeks.

Adriana also scraped black mold off ceilings in a two-bedroom house - with little ventilation - shared by 16 Brazilian boys, all orphans. Each of the rooms' four walls are lined with bunk beds, and sandwiched between them is a cabinet that holds the each of the eight boys' belongings. Eight people's things fit into one cabinet.

One backpack could hold everything a boy owns.

Convicted today.
