We just wrapped up our summer camp activities in the Center, which included English lessons and games with the help of our international volunteers. Now that carnaval has passed, we are back in the regular school calendar rythm, and are tutoring in after-school programs.
This month we ran a measles vaccination campaign in the community center in partnership with the health secretariat of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. The community center is not only a place for children to get tutoring and come together to play, but also an important focal point of community welfare. Vaccination campaigns and other health-related events are often part of our activities.
A big thank you to our donors who help us provide a safe space in the Julio Otoni favela - stay tuned for more stories of our community center!
