As part of the partnership between the Vasco Vieira de Almeida Foundation and the Kêlê Association, on 1 March a group of 35 children and young people, accompanied by volunteers, had the opportunity to visit VNA’s office in São Tomé and Príncipe. During this visit, Virna Neves and Weiko Bastos shared their life stories and career paths with the aim of inspiring young people not to give up on their dreams.

The Kêlê Association, whose mission is to promote social and economic development through education, has played a crucial role in supporting various communities in São Tomé. The visit to VNA law firm is part of a programme of monthly visits promoted by the Association among the young people it supports and is an example of the positive impact Kêlê’s actions have on the community.
