Resumo

Casa Guará undertakes social and cultural activities for children and youth in the Casa Branca community. In order to attract new donors and supporters Casa Guará in 2013 organised the first June Festival. The organisation of the festival was sponsored by friends of the Casa and local businessmen. During the June Festival, which is a traditional fest in Brazil, typical food is sold. The children organised an Afro-Guará Week, where they showed traditional dance and capoeira, and typical food was also sold. At the time of the Festival the bazar opened for the first time, where goods are sold in aid of the work of Casa Guará, providing regular income.

Dicas e lições aprendidas

Casa Guará involved many people in the preparation and execution of the activities and established partnerships with local schools. This induced the community to get closer to the group.
A joint effort with a motivated and organised team makes all the difference.

Revisão de Wilde Ganzen Foundation

This is a good example how to use an annual feast for fundraising activities. It is important to find sponsors for the organisation of the festival, so that the revenues can be used solely for the purpose the funds are raised for. This is also a good action to repeat more than once. To use the Festival to promote the bazar - which would be open every month from then on - is also a good point.
