Highlights of the Second Quarter of 2024!
Our best moments included: “Amigos da primeira infância” (Early childhood friend) Award, celebrating 15 Golden Years with a dress fitting and special lunch, a Mother’s Day celebration, “São João” celebration, the "Career in focus" project for teenagers, Olympics themed activities during the event in Paris, a visit from Iron-Man and Science Week.
In May, Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil, experienced the most devastating flood in its history, displacing over 500,000 people and affecting more than 2 million. The Children's Cancer Institute, located in Porto Alegre, RS, made efforts to ensure the safety of its patients and the continuity of their treatments. The Institute actively sought out patients who had been forced to leave their homes, providing transportation for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Additionally, we invested in distribution of clothing, food, medicine and water.
During this time, we donated 7,787 pieces of clothing, 7,924 kilograms of foodand distributed336 medicines. Additionally, 1,227 services were provided during the flood period, and the Children's Cancer Institute, through the generous donations, was able to help 36 institutions affected by the rains. In total, from April to July, we provided more than 8,000 services to over 250 children and adolescents with cancer. Also, over 25,000 kilograms of food were distributed to patients and families, and we had the donation of more than 18,000 pieces of clothing.
We appreciate all the help received and we are counting on you to continue saving lives!
