Social Awareness Day

On the 27th of October, we had a new and very well succeeded event at community center Casa Semear. In collaboration with Mackenzie University (one of São Paulo´s public universities), we organized a social awareness day for the community around Casa Semear.

 

It was wonderful to see how God provided everything that we needed to run this event; in a quite short period of time we managed to get a number of different volunteers and professionals to come and serve the community in different ways and we also got all the materials we needed for the different services we had planned to offer.

Together with the more than 40 volunteers that came out that day to help us, we were able to offer the community a day filled with joy, advice and health orientation. It was a very busy day, with lawyers, dentists, story tellers, candy floss, social workers, nurses weighing people and measuring their blood pressure, diabetes tests, hairdressers and a lot of fun and games for the children! We had a total of 300 people come to Casa Semear that Saturday, and were very pleased with the results. We would like to make this a yearly event and already have a number of ideas for next year.

 

A huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers, students from Mackenzie University and all the different professionals who came out that day and donated a bit of their time and energy! 

 

Praise God for what He has been doing!
