ORGANIZING AND BUILDING TOMORROW (OCA)
The social project Organizing and Building Tomorrow (OCA) emerged 10 years ago and has since motivated the Jardim Miraí community in the municipality of Santa Isabel do Pará. OCA was founded on March 22, 2009, and is a non-profit social organization of a care and educational nature. It was created by a group of friends from the fraternity's spiritist house. Since 2019, the Amazon Ruminant and Forage Study Group has been assisting in the activities of this project, which currently serves 45 children aged 3 to 15 years, with socio-educational activities. During visits, teaching materials and snacks are delivered, which are used in activities and are maintained through donations. The project has only two permanent volunteers for its development and organization. Throughout each year of development of the action, activities are carried out that encourage children to read, play sports and care for the environment.
WATER DONATION AT CÍRIO DE NAZARÉ
The candle of Nazaré is a Catholic religious event in devotion to Our Lady of Nazaré that takes place every year on the second Sunday of October in Belém-PA. Due to the pandemic, this religious manifestation spent two years without the faithful taking to the streets expressing their faith. Thus, in this year 2022, devotees returned to the streets to display their faith and devotion and the GERFAM team also took to the streets to distribute water to the pilgrims together with the Promesseiros da Nazinha during the transfer, with the solidarity of people who contributed With this action we managed to collect more than 2,500 glasses of water.
