The Brazil Centro-Sul province’s Solidarity Mission enriches the lives of young people and communities

About 450 people, working across five territories, participated in the Marist Solidarity Mission earlier this year.  Sponsored by the Brazil Centro-Sul province, the volunteers who brought the initiative to life were associates of the province, of the schools and social centers and also Brothers.

From January 19 to 25, the focus of activity was in Curitiba, Paicandu and Sao Paulo. From January 26 to February 1, the youth offered their services in the cities of Sao Jose and Ponta Grossa.

Bruno Manoel Socher, member of the Identity, Mission and Vocation Board of the province, explains that the Mission covers three main work fronts: activities with children, such as games and workshops; visits to community houses; and a concrete action such as, for example, a transformation in some community area or immersion in a recycling cooperative.

“I believe the initiative impacts the life projects of those who participate, whether they are volunteers or residents of the community. We want to promote a culture of solidarity, of thinking about others. Little by little we can transform society,” says Bruno. For more information visit the following link.
