CHILDREN’S POWER

For a long time play with toys or complain about vegetables are no longer children’s job. They are doing much more for themselves and for others than we can ever imagine.

Fundação Casa Grande – Memorial do Homem Kariri

This a restored house where children can use a DVD library, a book library, a graphic novel library, a radio station, a music studio, a TV production suite and a theatre.

The whole organization in run BY children FOR children.

This foundation is a non-governmental organization located in Nova Olinda - Ceara, a small hilltop town in the semi-arid sertão of Northeast Brazil, the region is famous for its myths, religion, natural beauty and fossils.

At the entrance to the house is a museum containing traditional north-eastern and ancient indigenous artefacts. In addition to this the foundation has set up a cooperative of popular hostels managed by the kids’ parents. For fifty Reais (about 30 dollars) guests can rent rooms in their houses where they will receive full board with three meals a day.

This is a good opportunity to know more about Brazilians and their creativity. Is incredible how many things those children can do to stimulate other and help the development of the country as a nation.

We support the foundation and for every package that we sell for this region, we send procedures for the foundation.
