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!

Hello Pat,
I would be interested in learning more about the ways that FRC teams could assist our fellow FIRST members in Brazil, but I am not in the Miami, Philly, North NJ, NYC or Boston Areas. Is there a way for people out of those areas to help?
I am posting this here instead of in an email because I believe there might be other people willing to help that are not in the area and possibly people in those ares that don't want to message you out of fear of what they are signing up for.
