I was lucky enough to be part of the Lionsraw Legacy Tour to South Africa in 2010.  Lionsraw still works to support children in the Valley of a Thousand Hills - visit www.lionsraw.org and www.youtube.com/lionsrawtv

Now we're gearing up for Brazil 2014 - where we'll work to improve lives for young people in Curitiba.  For example, we're hoping to help Mouricio and his father Mourinho, who are struggling to educate a group of favela kids.  Lionsraw is talking to the local Mayor about renovating a local building to provide much needed  health care, where currently there is no access.

In the Uberaba area of Curitiba, Lionsraw is finalising plans to build a new school building which will provide education for 300 kids.  This will mean a change in attitude, aspirations and direction - as these children grow into adults on a different path, away from drug dealing and garbage collection. 

If you'd like to help with this work, either join up at Lionsraw.org or make a donation via justgiving
