I can say that I am happier after finding B4B (Blessings for Brazil), which is composed of people who are interested and motivated to do something for these kids. We work hard to come up with ideas, projects,  and events.  We do this  to help  improve schools in Brazil and try to give these kids a new kind of life.

I feel lucky to have been a small part of it.
