Henry Daniel, Age 2

This cutie is Henry Daniel, age 2, who hails from San Pedro Sula, Honduras. He lives with his father, Reinaldo, a farmer, his mother, Inelda, a homemaker, and his three older siblings (Brother Eduardo, 18, and sisters Dania, 13, and Reina Purificacion, 15) on an income of $53 (US) per month.

The family lives in a one-room home, with walls of adobe, a corrugated metal roof, and a concrete floor. They cook on an earthen stove, sleep in wooden beds, and have running water in their home. Electricity is available, and they use a latrine for sanitation.

Henry likes to sing, dance, and play with toys and cars. He's too young for chores, and doesn't yet attend school. He stands 2'10" and weighs 30 lbs.

Henry is special for many reasons, one of which is that he shares a birthdate with my mother- November 12. I chose to sponsor Henry because of his family's low income and because of the birthday coincidence, and also because, well, could YOU resist that little face?
