We need your help in raising $10,000 for scholarships offered by the Brasil Doce Lar Foundation. All of this money will be used to fund high-potential students from low-middle income families during their high school years. The Foundation will work with private high schools in Joao Pessoa, Osasco, and Recife to receive a tuition discount and will also ask each student’s family to cover 50% of tuition so we can maximize our return on investment and help additional students.

Please, donate today by clicking here or by visiting www.brasildocelar.com/br and give as much as $200, $75, or even $15. For every $15 donated, a person will receive a copy of the Brasil Doce Lar DVD.

The advantages of providing these funds early in the students’ life are several. (1) It will give them a much better chance to compete for a place in a public and free university when they turn 17-18 years old. (2), it will prepare more youth with basic skills before they serve their missions. And (3), it will make it a lot easier for them to be self-reliant when they finish their teenage years and/or return from their missions.

Thank you for supporting youth in Brasil and for your donation!!

Carta de Evelyn Beck – 6 Jul 1965 – “Sunday we went to the chapel at 9:00. Dad wanted to interview some people. The inauguration was lovely. I believe the display was the best organized I have seen. There were around 500 people at the meeting. They had an open house from 2:00 till 10:00. When we were there about 10:00 the Elder said there had been over 1500 go through during the afternoon and evening. 350 people signed the book saying they would like to be visited and know more.”

Robert Walsh, former missionary of Brazil and writer for the Mormon Times remarked, “‘Brasil Doce Lar’ is a family’s sweet, touching tribute to a country and people they loved. Yes, Brazil enchanted Wayne Beck — and he helped spread spread it throughout his family”.
