Dear backers, I am not sure who of you is following our project on Instagram. The campaign had a great impact and we have reached our primary goals for the children.

I hope you can support us again. Thank you so much! https://wemakeit.com/projects/education-to-a-better-future

Since July they have regular english lessons (3x per week) and workshops including Yoga, Capoeira, Music, Sport, natural preservation. They have transformed from isolated kids to a joyful community. For kitesurfing we realised some hurdles, but we are on a good way. We have organised parent approvals and 2 professional kite schools to ensure classes consider highest safety standards. This will start in January 2023. I have inlcuded a small video where you can see the progress of our swim class workshop which is life saving, living in Tatajuba. We will continue the project and therefore asking for your support again. With the aim of 6’000 EUR we will be financially independent until the autumn of 2024. Andrea, our teacher is preparing the oldest in order to assist her, which allows us to increase the number of children as well.

I hope you can support us again. Thank you so much! https://wemakeit.com/projects/education-to-a-better-future

Dear backers,

We have now officially signed a contract with a teacher. Her name is Andrea. Andrea is langauge teacher and has worked on other social projects before. She is passionate for teaching. But let Andrea introduce herself in that video. Andrea will start in July with 3 classes per week. We are totally excited that she found us through the funding campaign in January.

This would not be possible without your generous support. Thank you again!

Dear backers! On behalf of Gleison and our volunteers team - a huge thank you to you all. We have reached 136% of our target. The average donation pP was 200 EUR. How amazing is that? Without your support, we would not be able to continue with our vision for soultatajuba. YOU DO make a difference for the children.
THANK YOU!!

What are the next steps?

1) In the next 4-6 weeks we will coordinate the rewards, which some of you have assigned to. We will reach out to you individually.

2) What seemed to be the 2nd big hurdle, after the funding, went very smooth. We have already a teacher, which contacted us during the campaign. We have agreed for a cooperation as of July 2022 with 3 blocks per week. We are all very excited about it. As soon the contract is signed, which seems to be a formality only, we will update you on that.

3) The donation money will rest on my account until July 2022. Then i will transfer the money to a dedicated acount for soultatajuba in Brasil, which will be managed by our treasurer. Please see the business plan in the updates, if you like to learn more about the organisation.

4) Tatajuba is in low season now. We will set course in the next weeks and months, preparing all neccesary items to kick off soultatajuba with fresh wind in July 2022!

I will update you here on this cannel, but you can also follow us on Instagram @soultatajuba. Due to the rain season ahead, the chanel will ocassional hibernate before we kick off in July 2022

Thank you for making this possible. Bless you all!

Jürgen

We have 7 more days to go and we are only short of 24 EUR :-) It is time to say thank you to all of you who have joined our efforts. This funding will make a significant change to the children. Seeing this supoprt from around the globe, motivates our volunteer team to the moon and back. Check out this short video we did with some of the kids of SoulTatajuba, which speaks for itself. But lets not rest just yet. There is 7 more days, lets take this momentum and push everyone we know to join the campaign! Have a great weekend everyone!
