Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
We cite a reduction in repeating grades (a huge problem for Brazilian children) and truancy, reintegration of children and families and better family relations. Arts activities increase self esteem, interpersonal relationships & communication skills
Project Message
Children from different areas, who live in a world of warring drug factions are treated as equals and learn to see others as equals. They send others here where they find a leadership of peace.
- Vinícius Daumas, Director of Projects
