Uisp Modena Solidarity: “Indo Juntos”, the new oriental disciplines project, starts in Vila Mimosa!
After the success of the three-year period 2014-2016, Uisp Modena Solidarietà returns to one of the most difficult neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro
It was 2016 when due to the bankruptcy of the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro Uisp Modena Solidarity reluctantly abandoned the beautiful project of the Judo School in Vila Mimosa, a neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro sadly known for prostitution and the consequent abandonment to which minors are left. Thanks to the renewed contacts activated in winter 2023, thanks to theconcrete help from the Municipality of Maranellonow an essential partner for Uisp solidarity experiences, and thanks to the active support of Cones Brazil and the teacher Alfredo Apicella and of theAmocavim association and Cleide Almeida, long-time partner of Uisp Modena Solidarietà, the “Indo Juntos” project is taking shape and will see its first ‘official’ appointment on Saturday 30 Novemberwhen the activities will be presented at the Amocavim headquarters within the neighborhood. This is a project that follows in the footsteps of the one started ten years ago: oriental disciplines (in this case karate, kickboxing and self-defense) as a tool for emancipation, education, construction of culture and discipline within a neighborhood very difficult for kids like the one in Vila Mimosa. Lessons with qualified instructors, therefore, and alongside this in a hoped-for ‘phase 2’ also demonstrations, tournaments and events in which children can participate. Meanwhile the first brick has been laidwith the hope that it is only the beginning of a long and beautiful journey together.
HERE IS THE FLYER for the first initiative on Saturday 30 November.
