Marcelino's Story:

Marcelino and his sister lost their parents both in the same year due to HIV/AIDS. They were left by themselves for almost two years before their grandparents received the news that the parents had died and the children had been left alone. Marcelino’s grandmother had to travel to pick them up and bring them to Beira to live with them. Marcelino’s grandparents try to support him and his sister, but apart from them, they have 5 other grandchildren to care for as they were also left HIV/AIDS orphans. Most of the time Marcelino goes into other houses to look for food due to the lack of food at his grandparents. What a blessing a sponsor would be for Marcelino!
