We are at the MOST eastern point of America!
João Pessoa is the capital of the district of Paraíba, in Brazil. The city is
characterized by the juxtaposition of tropical beaches, modern architecture, and historic
buildings from colonial periods.
João Pessoa is known as “Gate of the Sun”, because is located in America’s most
eastern point, this point is located at Ponta dos Seixas, and is the land that receives the first
Sun’s rays of the day. The city, with a little over 750 thousand habitants, is considered one of
the most peaceful in the country, and also called “Green City”, because its more than 7 square
kilometers of forested land. It also carries the titles of the 3rd oldest city in Brazil! Won’t you
love it too?

And some realities NEED to be in evidence
We have so much contrast between poor and rich people, because they are everywhere and
so mixed. That’s why we mainly develop social projects at communities . That’s why we are
looking for EPs that share this different vision of the world, EPs that coult help us change
piece by piece our children and society.
It’s not necessary to have full study about this subject, about poverty or social
dynamics, it’s just necessary to want and to really care about it! Come and make the
CHANGE you want to see!
