"My biggest dream is to live on the beach. When I grow up I want to be a doctor, a firefighter or a police officer.
What makes me happy is playing tag, hide and seek, jumping rope and traveling. "

My story
My name is Maria Laura Gouveia Oliveira and I'm 8 years old. I am attending the 2nd year of Elementary School I in the afternoon and in the morning I participate in the activities that the NGO New Generation Brazil offers. I live with my mother and my brother. My father lives in another neighborhood and sometimes I spend a few days with him. I love the subjects of the Portuguese language and mathematics school. I like to play basketball and volleyball. I love all the NGO classes, but my favorites are the classes in the playground, the ceramics classes and the assignment classes. I really like to stay in the library, because I love reading the books and seeing the illustrations. In my free time I like to walk with my mother and brother, I love swimming in the waterfall, cycling and rollerblading. I also really like to sing and dance.Why Maria Laura needs our help

Maria Laura 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 Maria Laura
