- Tha's why I was always tracking him down.
- Wallace, won't you go to study?
- He probably thought I was very annoying,
because I wouldn't drop his case.
- Because nowadays,
you are nobody without study.
- And the opportunities... offered by life
- the project at FUCAS, was
something...
- A project like the one at FUCAS,
it will be hard to find the same.
- I started at FUCAS on the gymnasium
- in 2007.
- By then I participated on all activities
- the creative ones.
- I was in theather class, percussion
many things.
- I even was part of a play, I also
wrote many plays.
- But where I really found myself was
with dancing.
- His dream is to dance.
- He takes a quick shower, get
dressed and take his backpack.
- And there is an incentive over there,
since they have:
- dancing, circus, infolab, soccer
and many other activities.
- FUCAS for me, oh my, it changed my
whole perspective about the future.
- It changed some questions in regards of
what I thought I could be.
- FUCAS gave me a new perspective about life.
- It is kind of a magic place.
- Where I had dreams and I was able to make
them come true, and now
- I am giving my dream back to each one
of the new youngsters.
- And I think this is very cool.
Wallace is a residente of the
Caixa Hill, in Florianópolis.
A community where there
are around 10.000 people are living.
This is where one of the FUCAS Social
Assistance Centers is located.
And its at FUCAS where Wallace, and
hundreds of other youngsters
have their lives changed by being allowed
to have full access to their rights as citzens.
FUCAS allows that these children and teens
surpass social barriers.
Following a good path where each
step will lead them to success.
Becoming protagonists of their own
life stories.
In order to guarantee that
FUCAS develops the program:
Champions in Sports & Life
Which promotes being part of society
for chidren and teens
from 12 and 18 years old.
The project 'Esporte Cidadão'
stimulates the development of
sporting and physical skills.
Here, sport is used as an instrument
of social inclusion.
Helping to form real life champions
inside the community.
- With sports I've learned to work
as a team, agility, motor skills.
- What I like at FUCAS is to see my
friends every day.
- I like to play with them, I like to have fun.
The project Art & Culture stimulate and
reveal new talents.
The youngsters exercise their
role as citizens
and exhibit their artistic potential
with crafts & arts activities
circus clinics
dancing
and guitar classes.
The self steem of these
youngsters is boosted
when they realize their
own capacities
and also by getting recognition
of the community.
- It is not only here that we learn
but also outside
- we learn how to live, we learn
how to dance.
- it's very good.
- I feel like dancing and give my best.
The project 'Digital Caixa' uses
technology and communication
to promote social inclusion.
A important social tool.
The youngster gets in contact with
the digital world
and begins to act actively on
social relations.
- Well, it really helps me.
- Because if it wasn't for this project
- a lot of people would not be able to
use a computer.
- That is why I came here.
- To get to know new people, I make
a lot of friends.
FUCAS offers educational, psychological
and social assistance.
All the beneficiaries undergo a school
follow-up
are fed healthly, and are given uniforms.
Besides counting on the support of
professionals specialized on education.
- The role of the educator here at FUCAS
- is to provide to these youngsters
- the experience of what is to be a citizen.
- And so, through the clinics we
offer here, they can practice
- they are able to exercise their
role as citizens
- within the program and
on their own community.
- There are many students that
became professionals
- on the computing, circus and
dancing areas.
- And even crafts & arts
- because they identified themselves
with that role.
The work of FUCAS, the commitment
of the family
and the will power of the youngsters
are fundamental factors to
change life stories.
- When we are on the stage,
its a new world, its magic
- new things and situations
at the same time.
- And those moments slip away
quickly, like 5 minutes.
- But those 5 minutes are like magic
- to be on the stage, and I love it.
- And to be part of it. To do and
to be part its everything for me.
- Wallace is an example, because
he fought for what he wanted
- he fought for this dream.
- He started like a student and
became a teacher because he loves dancing.
- And likewise, we are all part of this group
and we all can fight like he did.
- We can also try to be a dance teacher.
The stories will became examples
to be followed.
Creating an humantarian mindset
that focus on a more just society.

respect, ethics and citizenship.
Social well being is our essence.
