Tis’ the Season: Community Service Opportunity in the LS
This holiday season, the Lower School would like to present you with a community service opportunity through two NGOs: Amigos do Sopão and Toca de Assis. Every Saturday evening, these organizations prepare and serve approximately 200 meals for people living in São Paulo. Along with these meals, they distribute clothing, toiletries, and toys. On December 18th, 2016, Toca de Assis will provide a holiday lunch at Praça da Se for approximately 2000 homeless people. This event depends upon the generosity and support of the greater São Paulo community. The organization currently needs the following donations:
Men’s and women’s clothing (trousers, bermudas, t-shirts, underwear)
Men’s and women’s sandals (numbers 37/38/39/40)
Children’s clothing and sandals
Bath towels
Disposable shavers (plastic)
Liquid hand soap or shower soap
You can send donations to the Lower School office anytime before December 9th, 2016. If you are interested in donating your time on December 18th, please see Beth Coelho for further information.
If you would like to learn more about these organizations, please visit their websites. Amigos do Sopão website
The Lower School would like to wish all our families a wonderful holiday season and extend our gratitude for your generosity and kindness this holiday season.
