Train 360 youths for the workplace in Sao Paulo

Dear Donors,

Thaian is a 22 year old former student of ours who recently used the social networks to tell us how his life has changed. Thaian took Administrative Assistant and English classes at our entity.

After he completed his courses, Thaian and his mother returned to his native State of Ceará, in the Northeast of Brazil, 3,100 km away from São Paulo.

Thaian wants to be a musician but to reach his objective he needs to work and earn money. He also wants to go to college and study arts.

Thanks to what he learned at ADAE, Thaian found a job in a Social Project and at the end of this month he will receive his first paycheck. He is also helping other youngsters to learn English as a volunteer.

Stories like this one only encourages us to keep doing the best we can to continue our mission of preparing youngsters for the workplace.

This year 120 youngsters took courses at ADAE. We want to continue our mission and even do more. But we have lost one of our most important sources of funds which came from the government of the Sate of Sao Paulo.

We are having enormous financial difficulties and badly need help. Many actions are being taken towards sourcing funds with corporations and other entities.  We have hired a Marketing and Sales specialist to sell our image within the corporate community in order to get recurring donations and thus have a stable cash flow. The French Consulate, for example has donated a huge quantity of used furniture which we are trying to sell.

But in the end, what would be of us without the support of all our donors? So we would like to sincerely thank you for your precious support.

Enjoy your Holiday Season and may you have a very Happy Year 2018.

With Gratitude,
