10 years ago today we were visiting Casa do Zezinho in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We met incredibly strong kids who have had some pretty hard things thrown at them. Their positivity, kindness and resiliency was inspirational. A wonderful Kids First memory!

Placement Manager Chelsea Holloway made a special friend during our recent Kids First trip to Brazil. Cultural Care Au Pair sponsors their favorite activity....the Mosaic Room. Most kids give their first mosaic to the moms, this little girl made her first one a special CCAP Heart for Chelsea. Such an honor!

Through Kids First, we have the opportunity to work with incredible women all over the world who have dedicated their lives to helping children in need. Women like Esther, in Mezquitera, Mexico, who convinced her community to let her use a small, abandoned neighborhood police station for an after school program. Esther provides homework help, arts and crafts, and lots of love, keeping up to 40 children a day off the streets. Happy International Women's Day to the selfless heroes who are making the world a better place.
