I would like to dedicate today's post to talk about two charities in Brazil that are really dear to my heart. I have volunteered for both charities and I know how serious they are and how much they help the poor community in Brazil. One is called Casa Maria de Magdala and the second one is called Remanso Fraterno.
Casa Maria de Magdala is a hospital for HIV positive adults and children. They are usually patients that were abandoned by their families because of the disease; that were taken there because the family couldn't afford medication or because they didn't have time to take care for them. They live in this hospital and receive treatment from volunteers doctors, nurses, and other volunteers in general, as well as medication for free. They receive donations to be able to acomodate so many patients and treat them properly. It's a beautiful work they do and I am a big fan of their work. If you can help in any way, please do, because they need every possible help. They have a bank account in the Banco do Brasil bank which you can find an agency in London if you would like to donate anything.
The bank address is Pinners Hall 105-108 Old Broad St, London EC2N 1ER
Casa Maria de Magdala' bank details are:
BANCO DO BRASIL
Agency 0072-8
Account: 507273-5
You can have a look in their website here
The other charity I would like to talk about is Remanso Fraterno. It's a social work where social disadvantaged kids and families receive education and medical assistance for free. It survives from donations from the public in general. It's very important to help this Institution as many of the families depend on it and it is struggling to get financial help. If you can help in anyway, please do. Unfortunately, they only have an account in a Brazilian bank which makes it difficult to donate money from the UK.
If you want to have a look in their website, please click in the link below. Their website is in Portuguese though.
If you can help, great. If not, thank you for taking the time to have a look at the charities I love so much! :) I will leave you now with some messages that I personally like.
Take care!

"Science and religion are the two levers of human intelligence, one revealing the laws of the material world, the other revealing those of the moral world. But seeing that these laws have the same principle, which is God, they cannot contradict themselves." Allan Kardec - The Gospel According to Spiritism, Chapter 1, published by International Spiritist Council, 2004
"Accustom yourselves then not to censure the things you do not understand, and more especially to believe that God is just in all things, and that on many occasions what appears to be an evil is really a blessing. Due to the fact that your faculties are so limited, it is not possible to have a clear vision of the whole, nor can it be felt by your obtuse senses. However, if you strive to reach beyond your limited sphere by means of thought, you will find the importance of all material things diminishes, according to the manner in which you are able to lift up your thoughts. In this way life presents itself as a mere incident in the infinite course of spiritual existence, which is the only true life". - FÉNELON (Sens, 1861), message from the book The Gospel according to Spiritism.
