Family Reintegration: A New Chapter of Love and Hope
September began with very special news: one of our children was reunited with her mother after spending some time in our care. This period allowed the family to receive the support they needed and prepare for a fresh start. Thanks to the dedicated work of Lar Maná’s team of psychologists and social workers, together with the justice system, this new chapter was made possible.
Healthy Teeth, Happy Smiles!
Our children received special dental care from Dr. Ana Amélia, Dr. Verônica Luna, and Dr. Renata de Sá Leitão. With so much kindness and attention, they took great care of our little ones’ teeth. We are grateful to these wonderful dentists for caring for our children and helping them receive the healthcare they deserve!
Three Siblings Back Home!
Another story has reached a happy new chapter! Three siblings returned to their family after spending some time in our care. During this period, their family received the support needed to strengthen their bonds and prepare for their return. Every family reintegration is an important step toward building a safer, more loving, and supportive home.
An Afternoon at the Movies!
Who doesn’t love a trip to the movies? Our children enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon at CineSystem in Paulista North Way Shopping. There was a great movie, lots of excitement, and the special joy of sharing a cinema experience with friends!
Sandy Feet and Ocean Fun!
Sunshine, sand, and lots of fun! Our children enjoyed a wonderful day at the beach, building sandcastles, playing ball, and splashing around in the ocean. Simple moments like these become special memories, filled with happiness and new discoveries.

Yellow September: Taking Care of Our Feelings Matters
As part of Yellow September, Brazil’s mental health awareness campaign, our psychologist Cláudia Britto led a group conversation with activities designed especially for young children. In a fun and simple way, the children learned about their feelings, explored ways to express them, and understood why it’s important to ask for help during difficult times. After all, taking care of mental health starts in childhood!
Two More Siblings Reunited with Their Father!
September also brought another special family reunification. After several months of care and support, two siblings returned to live with their father. Every reunion is the result of careful work to strengthen family bonds and help ensure that children can grow up in a safe and loving environment.
Playing and Learning with Tia Lena!
Colors were everywhere during a fun movement and learning activity led by Tia Lena, our educator! Through playful activities, the little ones explored colors from everyday life while developing their observation skills, motor coordination, and learning abilities. Learning through play is always more fun!

A Visit from Another Universe!
Lar Maná welcomed a very special visitor: Spider-Man! The superhero surprised the children and even climbed the walls, bringing lots of laughter and amazed smiles. It was an afternoon full of games, imagination, and excitement with one of our little ones’ favorite characters!
Lar Maná at the National Meeting of Healthcare Tax Professionals
Lar Maná was invited to participate in ENTES (Encontro Nacional dos Tributaristas em Saúde), the National Meeting of Healthcare Tax Professionals, organized by Lilian Verçosa and Verçosa Contabilidade.
The accounting firm is an important partner of our organization. Every year, during Brazil’s personal income tax filing season, the firm encourages its clients to support Lar Maná through tax-deductible donations. This initiative makes a meaningful contribution to keeping our work going.
Our heartfelt thanks to Lilian and the entire Verçosa Contabilidade team for standing by our side and turning social responsibility into real support for children!
A Goal Worth Celebrating: September’s Birthday Party!
Soccer was the theme of our September birthday celebration! With soccer outfits, lots of excitement, and plenty of team spirit, we celebrated another year of life for our little ones. After all, another birthday is another big goal scored!
Happy birthday to all our September birthday stars! May their lives be filled with health, love, and many new achievements!
Taking Care of Our Little Ones’ Health
Our children also received eye care at CEVIPE, with Dr. Caty Ventura and her team, ensuring they received the attention and follow-up care they needed for their eye health.
We are grateful to Dr. Caty, her entire team, and IOFV for their kindness and partnership in caring for our children. Having partners who believe in the importance of children’s health and well-being makes all the difference in our mission!
