Amarildo is thankful for the kindess shown to him

AMARILDO DE SOUZA ALMEIDA (3)
Dear Lesley and Lee,

I’m Amarildo and I’m 17 years old. I started in ADCAM’s pre-youth program when I was 14 and just a kid on the streets. I learned so much with the support of the teachers and coordinators and they recommended me for the Youth Apprentice Program. I passed the admission test, entered the program and got an internship in a business. As interns, we get a stipend and with that money, I bought a notebook computer which really helps me in all my schoolwork. There are eight people in my family. My little brother has entered the pre-youth program and I trust that in the not too distant future, he’ll have an opportunity to enter the Youth Apprentice Program too. These courses have changed my family’s prospects in life and guaranteed us a better future. I really am so grateful and hope one day to repay all the kindness that has been shown me.
