„I thank the Raio de Sol daycare center for being part of my childhood and helping me to be who I am today,“ says Thais Coqueiro, a 22-year-old who trained as a marketing analyst.

The Daycare Center offers a high-quality service in the Caetetuba Region, where most of the city’s needy population is located.
Many children come from the neighboring slum „Favela do lixo“ – „garbage district.“

The parents often have no job and earn a little by collecting and selling paper, cardboard, cans, and other recyclable garbage on the street. Many mothers are single parents. They cannot even feed their families on their small earnings. So they are grateful that the children are well looked after and cared for during the day at the creche.

Personal comments

„Our reality is difficult, but the support we find at the Center helps us to face the problems we have and get the necessary tools to achieve our goals.“

„I am happy that I grew up in the Schoenstatt Youth. There I learned how to educate myself.“

„Why do I keep coming back? It’s the joy I feel when I see new girls come to winter camp and they get to experience what I experienced. I love reading the letters at the end to see how I have impacted the girls‘ lives. I want them to think of me as a sister and not a leader.“

„I get to learn to crochet and knit on Wednesdays and I’ve already made a few things. I use them to make everyone in our family happy at Christmas.“

„When the monthly package was delivered, the father of the family told us that they hadn’t eaten in two days!“

„You can see how happy the children are to be able to go to the daycare center every day and find a pleasant place to play and be together with their friends.“
