Sete Lagoas Project

Project Description

In September 2022, we were introduced by Sara Guardia (committee member) to a Brazilian non-profit and non-gov organization called Associação Comunitária Criança Feliz  (ACCF), located in Sete Lagoas city, state of Minas Gerais (Brazil), that supports local families and children by providing alphabetization classes, food, etc. We fell in love with their purpose and dedication and decided to jump into a partnership.

 

What do we do?

We support over 20 children through donations of food, gifts, school supplies & uniforms, clothing, and shoes, and we organize events to entertain them. Eyes Of A Child provides financial support that comes from donations of goods and/or funds throughout the year to help maintain the program.

Who’s responsible?

Mercia Silva, Henrique Silva, and Jose Marcos. They all live in Sete Lagoas city, inside the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. 

Nelci Schallenberger, Project Director in U.S.A.

Mayra McMahan, Project Assistant in U.S.A. 

What We Do

2-4 times a year we plan and organize events to entertain the children and their families. These events are held at Mercia & Henrique’s house, ACCF’s home.

Brazil Life Sponsorship Program

Our goal is to have all 25 children sponsored so we can continue providing the ABC classes chidren from the ACCF association support with medical, dental, housing, clothing, food, and culture (through the music program). By sponsoring one or more children for $39, you will help them live a better life. As a sponsor, you will get continuous updates about our work and how your money is blessing these children!
