We have completed another annual cycle of our project improving the education of elementary school children from our community of Eldorado in Diadema and whilst what is very obvious and visible is the benefit received by all of the children watching the puppet theatre and having story telling sessions, the people who are less visible are the young people who actually deliver the project.
With the year coming to its end, it is time to say goodbye to an incedibly dedicated group of 8 teenagers both male and female who have dedicated themselves so much to the project and as you can see in the photo also formed a really tightknit group. Ryan, Higor, Janaina, Anna Julia, Jessica, Adenilson, Jennifer and Lucas are all young people who are ready to go out into the world and take further steps towards achieving their dreams.
Through the project they have all had the exeprience of having a first job and receiving an enourmous amount of training. They have all exercised leadership, responsibiloity, time keeping, learnt how to present themselves in the work place (state schools). But one of the most important things for the community is that they have all become very important role models for the young children with whom they have worked over the year because they are young men and women from the same community who the children see at the supermarket and on the street and can mirror themselves in. We are immensely proud of this group and look forward to recruiting a new group to work on the project in 2019.
