Volunteer work has been going on since 2014 and the benefited<\/strong> families receive fruit, vegetables, legumes, and various supplies whenever the group receives donations.<\/p>\n

The enrolled people live in the Morrinhos Community, located in a poor area of the city of Guaruj\u00e1, in the southern costal area of the Brazilian state of S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the support of \u201cgodparents\u201d (people sympathetic to the group initiative), a voluntary collection of resources began to be done monthly. When a sufficient amount of money for the purchase of food is achieved, the monthly food family baskets\u00a0 are put together and delivered in the community.<\/p>\n

Throughout this year there have already been 150 food baskets delivered. \u201cIt is always a party. We still have not managed to do one distribution like that every month as we would like, but we are gradually working towards that,\u201d <\/em>says Rosi Freitas, coordinator of the Light-Network in S\u00e3o Paulo as well as a participant in the Guaruj\u00e1 Light-Network.<\/p>\n

In the last deployment carried out on July 27, the members of the Light-Network of Santos, a neighboring city, also participated in the movement. The activity included 13 people in all.<\/strong> \u201cThe families are extremely grateful and say that the help always comes in the time of greatest need. To make this activity a reality was a milestone for our group. It really shows us that we are on the correct path and that when we are united under a single purpose everything is possible. Recently, we managed to create a Branch of FIHF here in Guaruj\u00e1 and we already have the tax ID of the Branch and we are waiting for the opening of a Bank Account to better promote our activity and in this way, attract new \u201cgodparents, sympathizers, and supporters,\u201d <\/em>concludes Rosi.<\/p>\n
