High Cloud Leads a Humanitarian Mission in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!
The High Cloud Brazilian Team conducted a wonderful philanthropic trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in April 2008 to help the 100 children, orphans and babies of "Roupa Suja" one of the poorest neighborhoods in South America. As we know, the High Cloud Foundation conducts a number of workshops internationally on such topics as education (math, science, language, etc), health care, sports, environment conservation and multiple others. For the children of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the High Cloud Team created a workshop on nutrition and health care. Countless hours of work, commitment and passion enabled the High Cloud Team to reach children and orphans of all ages as well as the community of Roupa Suja. High Cloud also coordinated the shipment of food supplies such as: oatmeal, dry milk, rice, beans, pasta, fruits, vegetables, among other nutritional foods.
The High Cloud Team also brought the children school supplies such as: notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, crayons, among others as well as educational videos. The opportunity to travel while conducting philanthropic activities and work on projects with different cultures is simply priceless. There is nothing like it, especially if you have a passion for empowering others and meeting people from all over the world. When we do this we are living our dream.
