The first half of 2024 of the “Ser Crianças em Alagados” program went very well. From Tuesday to Friday, we welcome a little more than 60 children aged 6 to 11 (in blue in the photos) as well as 30 young adolescents (from 12 to 15 in green).
Our first priority is to ensure healthy nutrition for children. To do this we offer them 2 balanced meals daily. The menus are developed by a nutritionist and created by our cooks.
We help children in their academic learning by offering them support according to their age and level. We thus set up working groups led by employees of our association or volunteers. It is a real joy to see the progress of certain children when they receive attention and patience!
We also offer outings and parties for children. We went to the zoo and prepared a show for the “Sao Joao” festival.
We offer more general training that raises children's awareness of the environment, food and health. For example, we were lucky enough to have a dentist who showed us the impact of good nutrition on our health as well as the importance of good dental hygiene.
We have just started the second semester on the same basis. The needs and expectations are great. We have no shortage of ideas to help the children of the Alagados favela and we are counting on your help to support us!
