Arraiá Lar Maná The month of June was full of incredible activities. In keeping with tradition, we had our Arraiá Maná (area-wide celebration), with lots of regional food, games, dances and magician Rodrigo Lima, bringing even more joy to our party. Everything was wonderful! Children from the Vó Raimunda shelter were invited to enjoy the party with us. We don’t have words to thank all the people involved in making this moment of joy possible for our children. It was ...

Adoption We are thankful for one more adoption this month, here at Lar Maná. Our little “Frozen” fan has found a new home and another beautiful family was born!

Birthday of the Month This month we had a beautiful party prepared by the pedagogical team made especially for one of the children. It was amazing! We enjoyed helping her celebrate her 10th birthday! She is a fan of the band Black Pink so we made a point of decorating everything just the way she likes it and had an afternoon of fun and games! It is always a pleasure for us to provide these happy moments for our little ...

Adoption Our hearts are filled with a mixture of happiness and sadness each time they leave. This month two more families were formed. To see the joy on the childrens’ faces as they hug their new parents not only validates the work we have done, it also motivates us to continue to fight for a better life for each one of these children. None of this would be possible without the support of people like you! We greatly appreciate all ...

We also had a 15-year-old birthday party for our beautiful and radiant debutante. Here in Brazil this is a much anticipated and celebrated occasion and we made sure ...

Family Reintegration Sharing good news is what we’re all about! This month we had a case of family reintegration, when the child is able to return to one of their family members. For cases in which reintegration is not possible, the child or adolescent is made available for adoption. We know they are here only temporarily and we love seeing them thrive in their families, but it is bittersweet to see them go. However, we always hope that they have ...
