Nowadays 25 children assisted by the institution participate in the Choir. ‘In the Choir, we seek to work with songs that refer to nature and to the spiritual life’, said Mônica Harmendani, coordinator of the Children’s House.
During the meeting, about 40 people were presente, among family members, educators, collaborators and coordinators, besides monks of the Grace Mercy Order from the Monastery Doorway of the Divine Mercy and residents of the Nucleus-of-Light in Belo Horizonte – Sacred Heaven.
‘It is a moment of gathering and union among the people who directly or indirectly are involved in this task’, said José de Arimatéia, a resident of the Nucleus-of-Light.
The Children’s House was instituted in 2010 and offers activities for free to the poor community of the region, by means of workshops conducted by collaborators.
