Quality Education for 5,200 Brazilian Children

We are very pleased to announce the successful completion of our project in 2017 having offered storytelling, reading mediation and puppet theatre sessions to over 5,200 elementary school children in our neighbourhood.

In an evaluation done with both children and school teachers, 

• 88% of the children reported they were reading more as a result of this project;
• All of the teachers reported either a great improvement (75%) or at least some improvement (24%) in the interest in reading by the children as a result of this project;
• 84% of teachers also reported that the activities helped the children improve their output in the classroom.

I am sure that you will agree that this is a fantastic result and is only possible due to the support that we have received from you throughout the year.

So, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

As a result of the development of the young people who deliver the project in the schools, we have decided that in 2018 we shall continue the project with the coordination being handed over to one of the teenagers, Janaina who is just 17 years old! We have full confidence in her and hope that you will continue to support this very valuable work that makes such a great impact on the lives of the children it touches.
