During a Sunday excursion to the seaside with some of the children from our Coexistence Centre....

...at Hummingbird House......

Our basic idea is simple: if children and young people, with sometimes very traumatic and difficult living conditions, should have the chance to change their own lives and even change their outlook, then all good forces contribute - even the physical environment. Thus it is not only the socio-pedagogical and educational conditions that should be of the highest quality. If children, who grow up in abject poverty, are met with environments that communicate quality, beauty and aesthetics, this will release reactions in them. It seems that the children are affected mentally. They become calmer and more concentrated. They observe more, take more time. The noise level drops drastically. If it's beautiful around them, they will not only strive to preserve the beautiful environment, they will also behave according to the surroundings.

Have a nice weekend!

- Dilma must fulfill her campaign promise and veto the bill that disfigures the Forest Code instead of encouraging deforestation and giving amnesty to environmental criminals. Forest Code: veto, Dilma!

- Dilma precisa cumprir sua promessa de campanha e vetar o projeto de lei que desfigura o Código Florestal. Ele incentiva o desmatamento e anistia criminosos. Código Florestal: veta, Dilma!
