1 - Problem: After analysis of the situation in the parish in the municipalities of São Luís and São José de Ribamar in the state of Maranhao in Brazil, with about 60,000 inhabitants in all, mostly from from different places of Maranhão with the invasion and occupation of land in 1996, shows the urgent need to provide better educational opportunities for children who make up the majority of the population in a place where there are inadequate and few schools with classes of more than 50 students. The parish, one of the poorest of the Diocese of São Luís, has been entrusted since 2005 to the pastoral care of "fidei donum" of the diocese of Verona (Italy). At this time the diocesan priests working there don Bellomi Orazio, Luca Mainenti Don, Don Soardo Daniel, Don Claudio Vallicella together with Paul and Louise Annechini Family with young Adele, Alex, Emma and Mario.

3 - Recent history: Already in the years 2007-2008, with the help of some parishes of the diocese of Verona and friends we have implemented a project that attempted to meet this problem with the participation of 220 boys and pretty good results. Spending in recent years was about € 33,300.00 divided between aid from Italy (80%) local authorities (11%) and contribution of families of children (9%). In the tests made in view of the project to be implemented over the next two years (2009-2010) were taken some care: the need
+, unfortunately still very large, to assist the literacy process of children. +
the need to support a more systematic, albeit with all due respect, families of children (many difficulties in school are linked to situations of distress that children living in the household). +
a greater communication on the grounds that the project is not intended to replace the school but to help a more fruitful and enthusiastic.
