About the project

What is your role in your project?

Well my role in this project is to gather as much children as possible in the place they live (most of them in the Mapasingue area), pick them from their home and bring them back safely after the class finished as well as do the talking to the people in my condo and to find more people interested in send us their children.

I choose this project because the cleaning ladies usually dont send they children to school and preffer having them wondering around the house where they work, but what they don't know is that by doing this they continue the cicle that their own parents usually started with them, leaving them with no choice but to work as servants with the family that recieved their own parents.
So my main porpouse is to break this vicious circle between mom-sons.

Another thing I do is to assist the children during they work at my place by helping them performing the activities.Something we have noticed is that most of the people in the condo were pretty skeptical about the project and didn't wanted any strange people to come here (they made some racial comments about them), especially if they were related to the cleaning ladies.

It’s been a really hard thing to keep everything cool and we hope everything still like this.

  1. Ok, I get it now. You know, your challenge then is to keep this sustainable for a couple of months at least. Children will start to get tired of going to class when they have an opportunity to play, and parents will probably start to lose interest when the novelty rubs off. Then you come in to motivate and encourage. This should be interesting! Keep going!
