be in Cleveland on January 17th to interact with your students, from the Idea Center, via a distance
learning connection. Their program is aimed to enhance their understanding of Social Justice and
Volunteerism. The Brazilian students were selected by the Embassy based on personality, academic
performance, leadership skills, community involvement and volunteer experience. None of them
have traveled outside of Brazil prior to this trip. Volunteer experiences include environmental and
social projects; community service; teaching English, citizenship, computers and dance; church
related projects; and video documentaries.
Join us on the 17th and provide your students an excellent opportunity to meet and talk with
these students about the schools, life experiences and the projects they are involved with in
their respective high schools and cities in Brazil. The Brazilians will begin the discussion with
a presentation they have put together about Brazil and your students will be encouraged to ask
questions.
