Harvesting Positivity in the Favelas!

By Anny Moreira | Global Partnerships Director

Dear Friends,

We are deeply grateful for your continued support and belief in AME VIVA. Thanks to you, we are able to keep creating meaningful opportunities for children, youth, and adults in our community.

We’re excited to share highlights from October through December 2025, along with how your generosity has supported our work during this period.

Community Impact & Program Growth

During these months, we welcomed new students into our programs:

Children’s Yoga: 2 new students

Children’s Jiu-Jitsu: 2 new students

We are also proud to share an exciting milestone:

Our adult Muay Thai class has officially launched and now serves more than 15 students, expanding our reach and promoting health and discipline among adults in the community.

Marketing & Outreach

To increase visibility and attract new participants, we invested in outreach efforts:

Ran one paid social media campaign, helping spread awareness about our programs and mission.

Program Expenses

To ensure quality instruction and program continuity:Funded 30 hours of paid children’s yoga classes, supporting our instructors and maintaining consistent programming.

Community Events & Experiences

Your support also made it possible to create memorable and enriching experiences for our students:

Children’s Jiu-Jitsu Graduation: Distribution and donation of 18 jiu-jitsu belts, followed by a community celebration with a barbecue and ice bath experience.

Children’s Yoga Field Trip: A special visit to the Planetarium, including pizza lunch, for 14 children, offering both education and joy beyond the classroom.

Thank you for standing with AME VIVA. Your generosity helps us nurture discipline, confidence, health, and community connection, both on and off the mat.

With heartfelt appreciation,
The AME VIVA Team
