Quest4Change has been working with the Mangueira social project in Rio de Janeiro since 2006, providing extra man power and financial support for 17 physically and mentally disabled boys who live at the specialised care home of Casa Lar during their busy Carnival period.
- The boys of Casa Lar 2009
Last year was a very difficult one for the boys with regular funding from the governement failing to materialise due to the world-wide recession. This meant that the boys were living without even the basic supplies they needed to be free of pain and distress. Casa Lar is a model institution when it comes to the care of mentally and physically handicap children in Brazil and we here at Quest4Change are determined to keep the home open and running efficiently.
- Carnival 2009
Since last summer we have been working hard to support the home, volunteer and supporter donations over over £3,500 last year helped the home through a very difficult period and I am delighted to let you know that due to two further generous donations the good work is continuing.
Every penny donated to this project goes directly towards improving the lives of the boys of Casa Lar. All these donations, both large and small have been a real lifeline to the boys and I want to say thank you to everyone who has lent their support to this project, in particular Mr and Mrs White and The Marr-Munning Trust.
Your support has helped make a real difference in the boys lives. Thank you.
