Children enjoy the project activities
Brazil
Projeto Crianca
Janga Children's Project is an initiative of the
Janga Mennonite Church to improve the quality
of life for a neighborhood in one of the many
"favelas" (slums) of Recife. Begun as a Vacation
Bible School program offering healthy
alternative activities to children when not in
school, the project has grown to serve children
daily: 3 hours each day, five days a week. They
participate in a variety of activities including art,
music, games, and tutoring, and they receive a
nutritious snack. Global Family funds help pay
the teachers and coordinators (who had been
volunteering) a small fee for their work.
