You will see in the next pages what we have to offer during your internship! Feel free to ask any

questions by sending messages to the e-mails in the end of this document. We will be glad to

answer to you!

It is REALLY important that you read this BEFORE APPLYING to any of our

projects!

We are at the MOST eastern point of America!

João Pessoa is the capital of the district of Paraíba, in Brazil. The city is

characterized by the juxtaposition of tropical beaches, modern architecture, and historic

buildings from colonial periods.

João Pessoa is known as “Gate of the Sun”, because is located in America’s most

eastern point, this point is located at Ponta dos Seixas, and is the land that receives the first

Sun’s rays of the day. The city, with a little over 750 thousand habitants, is considered one of

the most peaceful in the country, and also called “Green City”, because its more than 7 square

kilometers of forested land. It also carries the titles of the 3rd oldest city in Brazil! Won’t you

love it too?

And some realities NEED to be in evidence

We have so much contrast between poor and rich people, because they are everywhere and

so mixed. That’s why we mainly develop social projects at communities . That’s why we are

looking for EPs that share this different vision of the world, EPs that coult help us change

piece by piece our children and society.

It’s not necessary to have full study about this subject, about poverty or social

dynamics, it’s just necessary to want and to really care about it! Come and make the

CHANGE you want to see!
