Seattle Site of the Week:
"Right now, in Brazil, summer vacation has just ended; the new school year began in February. For 10-year-old Renata, that means beginning the third grade. It's hard to believe that two years ago, she had never been to school and was unable to read! "For Bahia Street, a nonprofit based in Seattle, the new school year means a chance to grow and help more young girls who are trapped in poverty. The program gives girls from the slums of Salvador, Brazil, not only the chance to go to a really good private school, but the tutoring and emotional support they need to excel. "In Seattle, we offer a chance to learn about Brazil through Portuguese classes and musical events. Visit our webpage, hosted by SCN, or call for more information."
