Hi, Folks:
I would like to share a program status update, as well as some quick, easy, painless ways to help us
MAKE IT LOUD and get some funds raised in support of these 12 very worthy teams.
Very stressful for our Brazil FRC teams in the current climate of political & social turmoil + financial crisis. The declining value of the Real has raised the barriers to participation way too high for Brazil FRC teams.
My kids, and all the adults on the ground in Brazil, need the support and encouragement of their global FIRST family.
The objective is to help keep their energy & focus on the STEM ed and social services outreach they do so well, and which is increasingly needed in Brazil, rather than sapped any further by the state of chronic survival mode they have been facing for the past 3-4 years.
Please reach out to me at
pat.fletcher@comcast.net if interested to know more and/or help out.
Many Thanks!
Muito Obrigada!
