Hello friends and sponsors of Mobile Rede Jovem Project! Rede Jovem Program team is very proud to once more share a lot of nice news with all: In the year of 2009 many very good things happened to Rede Jovem Program and to our mobile area! First we launched Wikimapa project, which is being nationally and internationally recognized! Please let us know if you want to know more about it. Also in 2009 another project called SMSports was launched. In fact, it was conceived as an outspread of Mobile Rede Jovem: SMS for social change since it works exactly the same except for the information content that focuses on two categories: sports and citizenship! It’s very nice to see that a project methodology well succeeded, created by the program is being replicated successfully to benefit more young boys and girls from other low-income areas. The project benefits additional 400 youth, residents of slums from Rio and Sao Paulo. Great news is that Rede Jovem Coordination team is systematizing and compiling all information and knowledge acquired with mobile projects using SMS as main tool to promote social changes in Brazil in order to write a Mobile Guide that is going to be launched on first semester of 2010, when Rede Jovem program completes 10 years! Please send us feedback about what you think of projects and initiatives and help us continue to deliver quality information for low-income youth from Brazil! Rede Jovem’ team hopes you all like our news and also would like to wish a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! Best regards from Brazil!
