Phil SandlerPhil Sandler reported to the membership on the status of Project Help, the Global Grant we have recently completed in Timoteo, a disadvantaged area in Brazil.
 
 
 
Project Help, which was headed by Dayse Sena, a former Brookline Rotary member who currently lives in Brazil.  At the suggestion of a local Rotary Club, she investigated the possibility of our providing support to this program.  The program has been going on since 1995, and is implemented in four places in different parts of the industrial city of Timoteo, Brazil, and serves children ages 7-17.  The children come from very poor homes, many of which children who barely have the basics of living.  The students are taught Judo, conflict resolution and positive values.  Dayse will be presenting this project at the Rotary International Convention in Brazil.
