We launched a campaign among our exchange students to raise funds for the Casa da Família Intitution this month. The campaign would give a prize to the exchange student who could raise more funds for the institution: 50% of inland portion to our trip to Amazônia which Via Mundo will organize in April. The winner was our German exchange student Justina Polujanski. Congratulations!
