"I have the dream of visiting Disney. When I grow up I want to be a doctor or a policeman. What makes me happy is getting gifts, walking with my family, eating ice cream and playing with my friends. "

My story
My name is Sophia Santos Ribeiro 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 offered at the NGO Nova Geração Brasil. I live with my mother and my older sister. My parents separated some time ago, but every Saturday I go to my father's house. I really enjoy his company, we get together, eat ice cream and ride our bikes. In my free time I like to draw, color, play with dolls and houses, I also really like to roller skate and bike. I love it when I go to the waterfall with my family and my friends. My favorite subject is math and I really like to play dodgeball in physical education classes. I like all the classes that the NGO Nova Geração offers, but my favorites are the volleyball classes, task, ceramics and the classes in the playground. I like these activities because I can learn and play.Why Sophia needs our help
Sophia Santos is a very communicative, smart and outgoing student. He participates in all the institution's activities with great enthusiasm and willingness. Sometimes the student has some unstable behaviors and lack of attention, so it is very important to have the support of the institution, so that we can help her to have healthy and beneficial development both in the social and educational spheres. In view of this, we want to invest in Sophia's future, because through educational activities and professional courses, the student will have many perspectives and opportunities for a promising and successful future. In addition, the activities offered by the institution aim to make Sophia develop several characteristics that will be beneficial in her trajectory, such as tolerance, empathy and kindness. That said, the NGO New Generation Brazil will be able to transform Sophia's reality, contributing to her social, educational and professional development, ensuring that she has a happy future with many possibilities.
Sophia 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 Sophia
