or not but in Kenya and 700 children

number in 2014 I was 28 at the time
I was employed working on a
Brazilian multinational company gaining
well and that number hammered every day
in my head I could not get away
that number of my head was coming in
left the company to fill out
spreadsheets for new presentations
of institutional powerpoint to power
go into purposeless meeting
and I started to question myself smart
where is my purpose is not here in
street talking outside is on field in the countryside on
work that carried out at least 15
years
social and voluntary work
institutions in rio de janeiro city
where I was born and where I live
they must have noticed with my taxi
That I’m a good carioca was in that
phase that I do not know if you have already passed
so they will either pass or are passing
But I was questioning everything I

that I’m doing here is in fact that
I know how to do what I’m doing here.

something for the world is what I love I do not
I was able to find an answer to these
questions
it was very sad in reality it was well
vice-versa and then looking for
of these answers that I started to make

international
and I said good I think maybe make a
graduate I can see what the
my way I know how to do what I
I love to do it because I’m doing it here.
making sense at the age someone if well
in the middle I left gay did not work
because the same thing questioned me
questionable and I could not find
answers to these questions has always been
so since I was little I always wondered
Only I ask myself if I do not

which has a giant company
that is already running I can not learn
I can also look at a
another concept during a trip that I
I did through well in the United States.
that the concept of voluntary vacations
I discovered that I could unite two
Passions Two things that I love and that I
I know how to travel and help
that there changed my look made my
heart literally beat stronger
because I love doing this and I find out
these two totally new concepts
to me i found that i can
experience this vacation
these holidays with a much more
conscious
I was already looking here in Brazil
at least a couple of years
I thought the exchange model
maybe some of you even know it here
What is it for you is to learn English and whose
lions in south africa
what kind of purpose is the cause
impact continuity and effective in a
travel of this type
and then when I discovered this concept
I can actually work with
something that I know how to do that I love that
It is in my blood and it gives
look
I was now going to need to bring with me two
crazy of the dreamers and brought him
I brought alice ratton my partner and
childhood friend and brought the André

just as I also believe that everyone
we can and must change the world and
we have this ability to change the world
We can all we can here.
So we started working on the
business model I still employed

and we started working on it
will it succeed never know nor
will start working with a plan
business and everything else
without knowing if it will work or not and I
like most business models
aims to test and then I decided then
Make this dream play by searching there
at least two years that was to test this
kind of trip it the statistic that I

with my head it was like that now I

I started to bring all the
questions that I had in the
reality we end up getting into a
cycle is people are 17 years already preparing
the enem has to make the enem in the
vestibular case
You have to choose a college and
after you graduate and after
college you have to be employed if
You’re not my heaven’s servant.

I need to get married and then when it was
who is going to have a child’s first question, right?

stay here at the goal financial goal
spending and spending money and
it made me a lot of training I do not
I want to live this automatic circle for
me and I brought all this home alone
that I’m very lucky and I
I love my parents so much because they always
they supported me in everything they are the greatest
examples of my great
obviously they thought it was lovely to
initiative found it so cool then

there she does not go and I at 28 and she with
57 years old

started and continued working on the
business model I started reading all
the criticisms of such agencies

For every work done both in Brazil

thing called social entrepreneurship

right now I started realizing that
was becoming a social entrepreneur
this but what it is and I
I started to go into a meeting no more
to talk about financial goal but only to
speak
of social impact to be able to know
how many more teachers will we train
how many people will we meet in a
medical expedition to see how many
trained volunteers we will send
