Living in extreme poverty.

 

 

" Record Investigation Report reveals the drama of Brazilian people that live in extreme poverty. Families that don't have anything to eat. They are part of the 7 million Brazilian people that are starving in Brazil, according to IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) . The TV program also shows how sexual abuse to children happens because of the hunger."

What can we do to help these poor children and stop the abuse? I would like to have the answer for this question... :(

Mountain Lane Fair

Mountain Lane Fair

We are over the moon!!!!

We are very, very,very pleased to say that our fair at Mountain Lane school was a tremedous succsess! Thank you everybody that supported us!

The day started in a very special way that morning! It was a full eclipse on the day and the kids were given information about it and also about how special that day would be for our charity Child of Brazil in the school assembly. The teacher asked the children what were the colours of the Brazilian flag and what do they mean. Children are very clever and answered the questions, showing knowledge about our country.

All children and staff were using clothes the colours of the Brazilian flag. I was very emotional seeing all those kids representing Brazil and especially representing Brazilian children. They were all happy to show their coloured outfits and many of them had their faces painted with the green, yellow, blue and white coulours of the flag. It was sooooo special. We couldn't be happier on that day.

We had to have a few trips from our home to the school to bring all donations received, not only from the school children but also by many friends of our charity. I would like to give a big thank you for everybody who donated items or cakes for us to sell, also all the people who went to the fair and bought some items or had a drink and a cake.

I should say we had a massive support with cakes. People could pick their favourite among a wide variety of them. We had muffins, sponge cakes and loaves in a variety of flavours. Thank you:

Dawn, Cheryl, Sarah, Rhian, Kath, Kerry, Tati, Joana, June, Leslie and Mrs J. Davies for your lovely cakes.

We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Mountain Lane School and all the staff that contributed their time to help us with the sale.Thank you from all the families cared for by our sister charity Jardim das Oliveiras in Brazil. I am sure their thoughts and hearts are with us.

See you soon!

Baby & Children's Market

Baby & Children's Market - North Wales

Glyndwr University - Northop Hall

Saturday 28/02/2015

Seller fee: free (The organization of the event allowed us to have a free stall as we were there for fundraising)

Setting up time: 09:00 am

Leaving time: 01:00 pm

We arrived there at 9:15 and there were sellers setting up their tables in the big sports court at Glyndwr University. It was a nice day and we were excited to have our first fundraising event of the year. Heather, the market manager, received us with a smile and made us feel welcome. She took us to our table that was marked with our name. At this event we used our Child of Brazil t-shirts for the first time, which help us being recognised as a charity organisation. We also used videos running on a laptop so people could see some images and know what we do and who we help. We always want to make people know we are there for a good cause.

We took mostly baby's things: clothes, shoes, toys, blankets, bouncy chairs, a pushchair, a baby bath, a car seat and two high chairs. We also took some sweets which caught children's eyes as soon as they reached our table.

Time passed quickly and we had a good opportunity to raise funds to help our sister charity in Brazil: Jardim das Oliveiras. Thank you Heather, Thank you Baby and Children's Market - North Wales.

Hope we can have another chance to participate in a Market like that soon.
