on education, with the support
of Confab Equipamentos.
Together, the Study Excellence
Award, Leaving the Streets
and Anlia Franco Scholarship
projects make dreams come true.
Pinda Florida Project
The purpose of this initiative, established in partnershipwith Pindamonhangabas City Hall, is to increase scientific
knowledge regarding the diversity in the Trabij Municipal
Park, a 6 million m2natural reserve of the Atlantic Forest
that holds rare animal and plant species, and stimulate
environmental education. One of the projects important
actions was implementing the Pinda Verde initiative,
promoting the culture of healthy community vegetable
gardens, based on the agroecology concept.
Pinda Marathon
The marathon gathers over 6 thousand people, promoting
sports, quality of life and multicultural integration. Theevent is considered the third largest athletics course in the
State of So Paulo and the largest in the Vale do Paraba,
with participation from children, boys and girls, men and
women and the elderly. It is one of the official activities
performed to celebrate the citys anniversary.
Study Excellence Awards
The objective of this program is to highlight and award
students that present outstanding academic performance
in the municipal, state and private High Schools in
Pindamonhangaba. For this purpose, it awards up to 200
students every year. To receive the award, each student must
present average grades of 9,0 or higher, good behavior and
attendance.
Saindo das Ruas (Leaving the Streets) Project
This project aims at improving academic performance and
keeping students in schools. The participants, over 2,300
children and teenagers, are supported with reinforcement
classes and after-class help. When theyre not studying, they
are involved in several activities, such as lessons in street
dancing, aerobics, capoeira and cultural manifestations,
tin orchestras, outdoor and indoor soccer. There is also a
partnership with the local Guri Project providing regular
music classes for 300 children.

The purpose of the program is to disseminate valuesand attitudes for over 400 participants, children and
teenagers, related to the principles of ethics and citizenship,
through theme projects and ludo-pedagogical workshops,
strengthening family, school and the community. To
promote integral development of its participants the project
also has a free pre-college preparatory course for teenagers
with very few financial resources. In 2009, the space
established a partnership with Cimientos Foundation, from
Argentina, and with TenarisConfab to implement a project
offering educational and financial support for 30 low-
income high school students in Pindamonhangaba.
Palacete 10 de Julho (Small Palace July 10)
This XIX century building belonged to the coffee barons of
the city and was used in the past as Pindamonhangaba City
Hall. With Confab sponsorship it being transformed into a
cultural center to provide the population with an important
