Criança Esperança

In 1986, in a special progam of "Trapalhões", Criança Esperança has been started here in Brazil. It's a project very interesting that make us, the brazilians, think about the reality of our kids and teenagers. We know that there are a lot of people in those days in world that can't even eat... so how those people will put their children in school, or in an extra activity?
Thinking about that, Globo started with this project which got a big proporcion. In our days, Criança Esperança is an example of this kind of problem in all world. A fact that comproves it, is that this project made a new "artigo" in the constitucion. (artigo 227 in the in the Federal Constitucion in 1988) . It worries about the kid rights and helped a lot, their lifes.
Criança Esperança is known by ONU , like an example to be follow. There are 25 years it was made and it's working hard until today.
It works like that.. The children go every day to places arond the contry, where they eat, study, practise sports, and do whatever they need. If they need a doctor, they will have. The one whose parents can't even propose them a calm place to sleep, can stay there during the night too.
But you can be asking yourself how people that organize it get the money to do that... that's the most interesting part. Every year, Globo make a special progam of it.. and in this time, people form everywhere can call and give money to help it. Who don't live in Brazil, can make the donnation in the internet too.


In class, we read an article about " Computer in slums".That is a project made by Rodrigo Baggio's who is a very good man. He starts of the zero and know got succesful. Like Criança Esperança, it was hard to start with everything, but after hard working they could help kids and teens. Computers in slums, is more related to computers, but it helps in the same way. Learning how to use them, a lot of teenagers went out of the crime and got a good job. They got better in school and in their relacionships too.
In the two projects, the main reason of the problems of kids it's because parents aren't worried about their future and how their lifes are. So it's important to pay attencion in ours children to make them be succesful one day too!
