We are very excited to announce that with the succesful roll-out of the COVID vaccine, the Julio Otoni Community Center has opened its doors to carry out our usual activitites in the community!
To avoid aglomerations, we have divided them into groups and receive 15 children in the morning and another 25 in the afternoon at different times. We have restarted our computer science classes, afterschool tutoring program, and capoeira workshop as well.
As international measures loosen up as well, we are excited to reopen our international volunteering program so we can continue our English language classes with the kids as well!
We will be sharing photos and stories about our progress with you - we are so grateful to all our donors who have helped us continue our work after this difficult year, and most specially, to step up as a Community Center bringing basic health and food security services as the pandemic hit the favelas the hardest.
