Why this sponsorship ?
There's a huge gulf between the lifestyle of "well-off" people and the inhabitants of the favelas, who spend their day trying to scratch enough money together to survive. Their time frame is the end of the day - at most, one week ahead. Vocational training is for people who are capable of projecting themselves into the future or even, quite simply, able to buy a bus ticket to attend an apprenticeship center. To provide training for these young people, who are often illiterate, you have to think outside the box. Pro Bejaru's training bus meets their needs because it goes to them. The training in breadrelated jobs (baker, pizza cook) is supported by the local authorities, which provide teachers and an operating budget. The young people then have a diploma to show a future employer. There are many openings because of the high level of tourist activity in Florianopolis. This original project can also be easily reproduced, which is why I chose it from among others.
