"My dream is to become a professional soccer player. What makes me happy is eating hamburgers, spending special moments with my family, and playing soccer with my friends."

- Pedro Lucas

My story

My name is Pedro Lucas and I am in the 5th year of Elementary School I. I live with my father and mother, with whom I really like to spend special moments. I am passionate about football and I have the dream of becoming a great professional player. I support Flamengo and I love watching the games alongside my father. In the morning, I attend school and, in the afternoon, I participate in the activities of the NGO Nova Geração Brasil, where I like to learn, play sports and be with my friends. I also really like to play hide and seek and enjoy my free time having fun and practicing sports activities.

Why Pedro Lucas needs our help

Pedro Lucas is very intelligent, communicative and with great potential for development. Throughout his career, he experienced the period of separation from his parents, a situation that brought some impacts on his behavior and emotional aspect. Currently, his parents have resumed their relationship and are seeking to rebuild and strengthen family life, which has contributed positively to Pedro's emotional well-being and to the significant improvement of Pedro's behavior. Being a communicative, curious and intelligent child, Pedro demonstrates great learning capacity and potential to achieve his goals. In view of this, the NGO Nova Geração Brasil believes in the importance of investing in their development, offering opportunities that contribute to the strengthening of their skills, autonomy and confidence. Through the educational, sports, cultural, and professional training activities offered by the institution, Pedro will be able to expand his knowledge, discover new skills, and prepare to build his life project. We believe that, with the support of his family, the institution, and the opportunities offered to him, Pedro will be able to develop his full potential, pursue his dreams, and build a future with new possibilities and achievements.

Pedro Lucas 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.
