The Aragão Pinto Foundation was visiting the Vacations Colony of the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalic Portugal Association to know its reality better.

It was with the maximum affection that we were received and that we gave ourselves to those children who already are part of our daily.

To live two days of experience with these children is learning lessons of force of living and force of will.
Each one of us grow and learned very much with them.

The look, the smile, the friendship, the affection, is inside of our heart forever.

It was a pleasure to coexist with them, to play their games, to play soccer, to make races, to eat, to laugh and, over all, to learn.

They are 33 children and 13 voluntary monitors that are going to pass two weeks in the Quinta da Fonte Quente in Tocha.

To each one of them a special place in our heart and the recognize to be for the name:

Nurse Mercedes Ferreira (responsible for the Colony), Bruno Gomes (responsible for the activities), passing through Serafim Ferreira, Teresa Ferreira, Teodora Brás, Isabel Neto, Maria Antunes, Paula Marques, Liliana Nunes, João Pereira, Fátima Pedro, Daniel Fernandes and Pedro Amor these are the names of the voluntary noblemen and women.
