Dear Friends,

Great news. Our Florida chapter has been established with the help of our enthusiastic volunteers. Thanks to you, Books for Brazil is now qualified with the Florida Department of State. We are in need of volunteers that can help us with our activities. Please contact Joelma if you want to help.

If you own a business in Florida and want to contribute to the project, we’re looking for sponsors to print our brochures. An area in the brochure will be provided for you to promote your company information. Contact us to learn more.

A Book Drive benefiting Books for Brazil is being organized at Felix Varela Highschool (www.varelahs.com, Miami, FL) coordinated by Sthephany Delgado, a very inspiring 16 year old junior at this school. That’s the spirit we need!! Thank you!

Finally, we have just completed our first 2009 book delivery to 8 institutions. A total of 380 books were distributed throughout Brazil:

Pictures of the events will be posted in the website as soon as we receive them. Stay tuned!!
