Six months after we have re-organized, we may say that our results are very good!
As you all know, Brazil is going through a serious economic, political and moral crisis. Unemployment is running at high levels and more that 13 million people are jobless.
In these circumstances, our association has been a haven for a few but very committed youths.
At the end of June we delivered the DIPLOMAS to the first group that graduated in our new location and with a renewed teaching team. Needless to say how gratifying it was to see how happy all these young people were to have accomplished their course. Let´s wish them luck in their search for a job. We will keep you posted.
We believe we have built a solid foundation that will allow us to progressively expand and prepare more youths for the marketplace.
However, to do this, we need more funding. As usual, we are taking action to obtain more funds with specific fundraising initiatives, but because we are going through such a tough crisis, our fundraisers have not been as successful as in the past. Therefore, WE NEED MORE HELP FROM OUR GlobalGiving DONORS.
We also wanted to let you know that thanks to a couple of donors, we were able to build a library with 250 books already. This will be another source of entertainment and inspiration to our youths.
Thank you so much for you continued support.
It is gratifying to see that your efforts are giving such good results!
