Let me present Natalia Martins, Tania Gomes and Vanessa Matos. The real super heroines of modern time and coordinator, technician and dinamizator in the Geraçao Tecla project.

When you hear Portuguese summer, you can imagine a great beach, a greater sun and scenes from postcards or tv commercials.

Mentioned girls, had worked during all year , not to enjoy in charms of summer holidays, to provide summer activities for kids in the Geração Tecla project. Volunteers had learnt from them that if you want to motivate someone you need to be motivated. If you expect from someone to put more energy in work , you need to glow energy.

That makes them super heroines.

Geração Tecla is one nacional project dedicated for kids from ethnic groups. Conceived in manner of showing right values, helping in studying and social inclusion. JCV gave initial capsule in 2007, with project “colorir o sabado” . Effort had been recognized, and project had grow up to national level with support of lot of partners and supervision of council of ministers.
