My story
My name is Lorena Maria Silva Mattar and I'm 13 years old. My date of birth is 20/04/2011. I am attending the 8th grade of Elementary School II in the afternoon. In the morning I participate in the activities at the NGO Nova Geração Brasil. My favorite class is related to the professional manicure course, as it is an area in which I identify myself and I am learning many things that will be essential for my professional future. I live with my mother and my twin brother. In my free time I like to draw, do my nails, watch comedy movies and play volleyball. On the weekend I love to walk with my mother, go to different places and create special memories. I also really like to listen to music and draw.Why Lorena Maria needs our help
Lorena Maria is a very sweet, responsible and capricious student. Her twin brother has some inappropriate behaviors that negatively influenced Lorena's emotional balance and family dynamics. In addition, Lorena was slow in the teaching-learning process. With proper monitoring, the student has already overcome some difficulties and today continues to develop very well, demonstrating how capable she is. Therefore, the NGO Nova Geração Brasil wants to invest in her future, so that Lorena can expand her opportunities, explore her talents and skills and have the best opportunities in the future. Through activities in the educational and professional sphere, Lorena will grow and develop fully, becoming a young woman capable of entering the job market or higher education. In addition, the institution offers activities that provide emotional and psychological development, which will make Lorena know how to deal with possible adversities. We know that the student has a lot of potential to achieve all dreams and develop satisfactorily through all the activities that the institution offers.
Lorena Maria 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 Lorena Maria
