Event in the Park - Porto Alegre Brazil

We organized an event in a very large park in Porto Alegre, Brazil.   We carried out a similar celebration in a Park last year and received around 40,000 people.

December 5 - Several activities were developed by volunteers, under the supervision of a professional volunteer in order to make the park more beautiful. These activities include cleaning the park, planting flowers, painting the play ground and the park seats, cleaning the lake, etc. This way it will be shown that the volunteer action can make a difference in life and in the public places of Porto Alegre.

December 6 - We carried out a joint work with our 70 partners social organizations. It lasted from 9 am to 6 pm. Each organization will display its handcraft products or show the type of work they perform. There will be one booth for each organization. There will be a stage for shows which will be held all day long. There will be also a cultural space with the participation with known artists of several areas. There will be activities directed to children, such as clowns, shows, ginkanas, games, etc.
