Educational Kits
The social response initiative of conceiving, producing and distributing educational kits for kids at Jardim Panorama was an offspring of a previous project in which Avenues São Paulo’s students had the intention of tutoring their colleagues from local public school Alcântara Machado, attended by some of the community’s children. “While we assembled these kits, Avenues had already started delivering staple foods baskets”, says 12th grade student Isadora P., who remembers the efforts as being “extremely collective”, involving teachers on both sides, from March till June 2020. “We had this planned out, so when the pandemic hit, we were ready to act.” By action she means dividing students and teachers into teams that were designated different age groups to manage and to create educational activities and materials compatible with each one. In the end, 200 educational kits were delivered.
