A NOVA 10 ORDEM, com o apoio de Giovanna Carnosa, amiga italiana, e do ICBIE, organizou pelo quarto ano consecutivo a festa de Natal na comunidade da Massaranduba. Esta pequena mobilização de Natal, mostra que o trabalho social mesmo com poucos recursos pode fazer muito. Principalmente quando se trata de ver a felicidade estampada no rosto das crianças, como declara Marcos Prisk, um dos organizadores. E o que nós desejamos é que esta alegria não seja somente no dia de Natal, mas que seja durante todo o ano

The Nova 10 Ordem crew of street artists, with the support of their Italian friend Giovanna Carnosa and of the ICBIE, organized for the fourth consecutive year a Christmas Party for the community of Massaranduba. This local holiday mobilization shows how even a small scale event can nonetheless do a great deal. Especially when it comes to seeing happiness stamped on the faces of the children, as Marcos Prisk, one of the organizers, declared. And what we desire most is that this joy isn’t limited to the day of Christmas, but that it lasts for the whole year.

Once again this Christmas, Pietro donned his red clothes and gathered the ICBIE friends (Veronique, Marcella and Ivanildo, Alberto, Marcos, Bigode and little Ikaro) for an afternoon of gift-giving in the streets of Massaranduba, bringing a lot of joy to throngs of excited kids. This year, the purchase of gifts and sweets was made possible thanks to the generosity of our dear friend Giovanna Carnosa, who recently made a quick visit to Salvador. The excellent organization of the event was handled by Marcos. We thank these friends for their help in maintaining this wonderful ICBIE tradition.

For the second consecutive Christmas Eve, the crowded and sprawling area of Massaranduba was visited by three ICBIE Santas, Pietro, Alberto and Roy, who distributed gifts to the children of this impoverished (and often desperately violent) area of Salvador. But behind the scenes, the generosity of three people made this joyous event possible: Mary Norris, who kept a collection box on her desk at the New Yorker magazine for the last twelve months; Giovanna Carnosa, who led a group of kids, fundraising in Pescara, Italy; and longtime supporter Veronique Gob, who is currently staying at the ICBIE with her family. And then there were our artists Julio, Bigode, Marcos, and the crew from Nova10Ordem, along with all the ICBIE volunteers, who prepared the event and gathered everyone together.
One by one, the children were called by name to come up to collect their present, as well as a bag of sweets. Afterward, there were cakes and refreshments, while the delighted kids played with their new toys.

The economic crisis weighs on everybody, but the ICBIE continues to sieze every opportunity to bring hope and joy to the local community. To celebrate Christmas, Pietro became Babbo natale and led an expedition into the distressed neighborhood of Massaranduba, which, poised between Ribeira and Uruguai, is a ten minute walk from the Institute. He was accompanied by Julio and Bigode, Veronique, and, celebrating their second consecutive Christmas at the ICBIE, the five members of the Fabozzi family from Rome (Salvatore, Emanuela, Francesca, Alice and Gabriele). The small children that swarmed to meet them along the broken streets screamed with excitement. The procession arrived at Lu’s house and her daughters Lais and Thaiane joined the party.
