Brazil – December 2021
You continue to elevate the education at the Mao Amiga Sao Paulo School in Brazil! Initially, many students needed to share a limited supply of laptops to complete their schoolwork. Thanks to your generosity, we have increased their learning potential by giving these bright students an additional 40 Chromebooks and 2 charging stations. Today more students are dynamically engaging digitally in the classroom.
Along with new ways to connect in the classroom through technology, students can now spend more time comfortably completing homework and building community thanks to the tables, chairs, and benches you provided for their lounge area. The students are very appreciate of the updated lounge and thankful for the technology that will facilitate learning and shape their futures.
TESTIMONIES
Camilly Gabriely 11th grade
“I am one of the students who, at the moment, do not have access to a personal computer. Therefore, the Chromebooks donated by Catholic World Mission have been very useful for my learning at school. Through them, I manage to keep up with all my tasks and academic work, as I can stay at school after school hours and use them in my studies for exams and entrance exams. Computers allow each student to have their privacy guaranteed, as their documents are stored in the cloud, linked to their personal account.”
Maria Eduarda 8th grade
“The chromebooks donated by Catholic World Mission are already being of great use to us high school students at Colégio Mão Amiga. Through them, our classes become more dynamic and full of important digital resources for our learning, they also help us with research, group work and presentations of school work. Computers are also available during off-hours, as not all students have computers in their homes and others need to share them with siblings and family members. I am so grateful to the donors and the College for providing us with something so essential to our learning.”
André Gonçalves High School Pedagogical Coordinator
“Having a quality physical structure is one of the fundamental requirements for the functioning of a school. In October, we received the donation of several pieces of furniture from Catholic World Mission that now make up the covered patio of the high school building. Looking at the use of these furniture items by our students over the past two months, I could see that they have contributed to student socialization during breaks, to more interactive lessons outside the classroom, as well as to group work. The design of the furniture combined a lot with the architecture of the building, providing a beautiful, harmonious and comfortable space.”
