Brazil – Over a Ton of Food Donated to Salesian Social Works in Vitória
Vitória, Brazil – November 2024 – At the end of October, Salesian social works in Vitória (ES) received over a ton of food. Donations were collected during the “Salesian Interclass Games” organized by the Salesian Jardim Camburi school, with primary students from grades 2 to 4. The donations will be organized into more than 100 food baskets to be distributed to families of children attending the Festive Oratories and Cesam-ES apprentices in vulnerable situations. After the food delivery, Fernanda Aparecida Chisté de Andrade, the pastoral coordinator of Salesian social works in Vitória, visited participating classes to talk about the Salesian social work in Vitória and its history of social action. “It’s very important for these children to understand how sharing helps others. Thanks to the children and families' initiative, we’re able to provide food for those who lack it. It’s transformative, and it’s great for them to learn this from a young age,” Fernanda explained. “We want to thank the families for their support, the volunteers who helped with transportation, and especially the children, who participated so wonderfully,” said the coordinator. The initiative also received support from Christian Family Movement (MFC) volunteers who helped transport the donations to the Salesian Fort São João location, the headquarters for Salesian social action in Vitória.
