Get to know some life stories impacted by our programs:
Samuel
“He reads a lot. Stays the whole time reading. This after he came here. He loves the library. I wanted so much a place that had this. The school doesn’t teach anymore. They don’t have the patience. It should have a Pró-Saber SP in every neighborhood and books too.”Samuel’s motherRead & Play project
Jennifer
“Pró-Saber SP which was named after Space Our Home was one of the main inspirations for me to be what I am today. I have a bachelor’s degree in education. If I haven’t had the experience I had at Pró-Saber, maybe I wouldn’t be the teacher I am today.” Jennifer, 22 years-old, Pró-Saber SP’ student in 2004
Gabriel
Before Gabriel came to Pró, he was an insecure child, timid, cried for her grandma, hardly speak. Now he is a talkative boy, secure, more independent, autonomous, In the beginning his father and I used to read for him and now he is the one who read to us at home.”Leonardo and Rosilene, Gabriel’s parentRead & Play project
Laura
Playing is an investment. It is not time wasted or lost.Sometimes I feel myself empty in the Ensino Fundamental, I feel dragged by bureaucracy, curriculum and everything I need to deal with. It has been amazing to remember of what matters most, of what I have always believed that matters. Thank you so much! Laura, class teacher at a public school Read & Play in the schools project
