"I dream of becoming a psychologist or lawyer, because I find these professions interesting, as I will have the opportunity to take care of and help several people. What makes me happy is to take some family outings. I love it when I visit my maternal grandfather, he is very affectionate with me and I am very happy to visit him and spend some time with him."
- Anna Hellena
My story
My name is Anna Hellena da Silva Cruz, I'm 12 years old and I'm in the 6th grade of Elementary School II. Arts is my favorite subject, I love drawing and coloring. I've had a lot of difficulties, but this year my grades have improved a lot. I participate in all activities and I am very present. I live with my mother, who is pregnant, my brother and my stepfather. In my free time I like to go for walks with my family, watch television and action and romance movies. Sometimes I rent a book in the institution's library and take it home to read. I love reading youth literature.Why Anna Hellena needs our help
Anna Helena needs help and monitoring to navigate her future, because despite her young age, the student is very responsible for taking care of her younger brother, who has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Because of this situation, the young woman has some emotional and psychological problems, so the institution wants to invest in Anna Hellena's future, so that she can change the reality in which she is inserted and hope for a prosperous future. Through the activities that the NGO offers, including professional courses and classes in the educational and social sphere, we want to invest in the development of the student, so that the student has a better placement in the job market or enters Higher Education and conquers her dreams and independence.
Anna Hellena is supported by impact partner Nieuwe Generatie Brasil
The New Generation Brasil Foundation was born out of the desire to offer underprivileged children in Brazil a better future. We believe that every child deserves equal opportunities. We do not stop at 'survival', but want to help the children/young people develop towards an independent and sustainable future by giving them (practical) education, with which they can later provide for themselves. Our vision is that a child can only learn and develop if it feels safe. That is why it is our mission to make this happen. We want to start by creating an environment where children feel safe and secure. Where they can really be children and develop and grow from the natural childlike interest. With the ultimate goal of offering a new generation of Brazilians the opportunity: * to develop, * to be able to make their dreams, potential and ambition come true * to be able to support themselves and their future family well.Sponsor Anna Hellena
