Big Thanks for a generous donation to Casa Lar…

Casa Lar de Mangueira is a home for disabled children in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Quest4Change has a long standing relationship with the home and we do all we can to help the home deliver 24 hour care for the young people and provide education, support and opportunities for the children to become valued members of the community.

Quest4Change has been working hard recently to increase support and fundraising for this worthy project and we are pleased with the response. A further £1,000 donation has been received from SMB charitable trust. 100% of this money will go towards improving the lives of the boys at Casa Lar. On behalf of everyone at Casa Lar and Quest4Change we would like to say a massive thank you.

The excellent work going on in Brazil could not be possible without the generosity of our supporters. Quest takes an active involvement with the running of the home and regularly sends teams of volunteers to lend a hand. The hard work of the volunteers is invaluable and always a great boost to the home and its residents. An added bonus to volunteering in Brazil is getting involved in the world famous Rio Carnival! Our volunteers help out during the busy carnival period and help the children prepare for and attend the spectacular event.

This project is undoubtedly an experience of a life time; If you would like to volunteer or just find out more about Casa Lar please visit our website or email; heather@questoverseas.com
