ABADA CAPOEIRA LA PAZ

Project

Abada Capoeira La Paz

Location

La Paz, Bolivia

Target

Provide access to the knowledge and benefits of capoeira and use this as an inclusion / training tool for good citizens, which in the future will be leaders and community leaders.

Impact

It was established in Bolivia in 2009 by initiating work with the CEIFMA “Centro Educativo Integral Félix Méndez Arcos” as an activity for children and adolescents who, due to their vulnerability and exclusion from society, had psychological problems of low self-esteem that reflected their low school performance reaching desertion or school dropout, apart from always being involved in fights between their peers. The arrival of capoeira to CEIFMA had a very positive response and great acceptance in a short time. Rules and rules of conduct were implemented to be a participant in the classes in which we saw:

• Academic performance at school
• Personal hygiene
• Behavior with the community
• Performance in training

Thanks to that intervention today we have young scholars in the music conservatory, also the case of a young man who plays in the Corintias football team in Sao Paulo in a minor division and continues to train capoeira. Many of the young people of the 2009-generation are parents already, some attend classes depending on their possibilities, they have achieved more than stable life.

Projeto Kirimurê

Project

Projeto Kirimurê

Location

Alto da Bela Vista, Itapuã, Brazil

Target

The aim of Projeto Kirimurê is to provide the highest quality and lasting experience for Kirimurê participants in proportion to their limited funds. They target younger children in order influence them positively from an earlier age. Older children who have grown in the program are now assisting classes and giving continuity to the program, thus benefitting as well in their new capacities as role models while gaining experiences that will present them with opportunities in the future.

Impact

Projeto Kirimurê provides a safe and nurturing space to minimize the time children spend on the street, as well as provides developmental tools to complement the limited formal education they may get. Through the practice of Capoeira, Projeto Kirimurê opens a dialogue with the children about who they are, why they are special, where they come from, and how to find positive solutions to seemingly impossible problems. As the children learn the game of Capoeira, its music, history and philosophy, they are developing physical and emotional strength, discovering their roots, and building self-esteem and character.

Literacy classes, homework help, psychological attendance, workshops in health and environmental education, traditional arts and crafts, as well as field trips to cultural and educational events are also offered. Moreover, children receive a nutritious daily snack and celebrate many holidays and special occasions together. Families are involved as much as possible, including through the coordination of an active mothers association AMABEL (Associação de Mães de Bela Vista de Itapuã).
