Berimbau

That's a heart's piece of the Capoeira's music. If you don't know alredy the beautiful sound of the berimbau, you can hear a bit here.

Here is former street kid Poca (Jefferson) playing to the people from the Morro do Macaco's slum, at the Children's day.
Poca's big dream whilst he lived on the streets of São Paulo for many years, was to one day become a Capoeira instructor. Thanks to CARF's efforts, he has realised that dream now and today he teaches 250 of our kids the Brazilian sporting art of Capoeira.

Fellows, I really hope you'll open your heart to the dreams of this kids, not to give them small Christmas gifts, but to give them the acess, the oportunity. This will make all the difference to a child choose how to act living in such a poverty condition.

Please, join this campaign, this time, we really need you :)
