Africa-Press – Cape verde. Almost all children in Brava had the opportunity to receive a gift for this Christmas, thanks to emigrants residing in the US and local groups that came together to “brighten up” this festive season for the little ones.
Speaking to Inforpress, Adalgisa Santos, a member of the group Bravenses Unidos, made up of descendants of the island living in the United States of America (USA), said that this year she managed to fulfill her dream, explaining that since she was a little girl. This is because she does not have the conditions and does not receive a gift; she had promised that when he could afford it, he would work to offer each child a toy.
“This year, thank God, I managed to reach almost all the children on the island. At least those who participated in the activities we organized, all left with a present in their hands”, said this emigrant.
Adalgisa Santos said that for more than 20 years, she supported the school of Lém in the city of Nova Sintra. However, in 2006, when visiting the island of Brava, she received several requests from other schools and upon returning to the USA, she decided to create a group to support all schools of the island with different materials, but also included the Health Department, Red Cross and individual people according to the need and availability of the group.
