Make a difference in Brazil - One child at a time

We are on Instagram

We are excited to connect with you in a new way.

One of our goals with Instagram is to expand our CBC community. Projects like CBC do not become successes overnight. There is a lot of strategy and thought behind the programs and services that we offer. With Instagram we are inspiring a new generation to connect with our mission and values.

On Instagram you can view clips of what our kids are creating and learning! Stay up to date and learn key insights into the life of a local non-profit running a mission overseas.

But teacher, I have no family

There is a lot going on behind the smile of the little boy in this photo with his hands on Ruth’s shoulders. After announcing the family lunch he came to us to say that he had no family to bring. He was abandoned by both his parents and receives virtually no care from the extended family with whom he lives.

Immediately our music teacher Stephen replied to him by asking “Will you let me have the honor of being your family and sitting with you at a table?’’ The little boy was delighted and said yes straight away.

Please receive our heartfelt thanks for enabling us to take simple actions like this in the lives of children who have so little.

Thank you for your generosity which enables us to host these families, teach and bring the Gospel to them at an uplifting and transformational event.

Why A Family Lunch Means So Much

The local paper in Fortaleza recently reported that the city is facing its worst scenario of poverty in 10 years. The population of the city is estimated at 3 million. Half of these people live in poverty or extreme poverty.

Here is what that means….

Poverty = income less than $100 / month.

Extreme poverty = less than $34 / month.

That already sounds desperate but now consider that a basic food parcel containing one month’s supply of 12 essential items costs $137.

Half of the population of the city cannot afford to buy a monthly ration of rice, beans, beef, coffee, oil, bread, milk, coffee, butter, sugar or flour, let alone anything else.

This is why CBC is such a lifeline to so many families. The daily assurance of a hot meal for a child relieves some of the pressure of poverty on parents. It’s also why our family meal is so important. Families in the slums rarely sit down to eat a proper meal together. Imagine the joy and memories created when an opportunity comes along to be served a special meal with your whole family around the table.

As you prepare to gather your family this thanksgiving, please help us offer the same opportunity to a CBC family.
