The
12 years that Dun Gorg spent working in the slums and impoverished areas
of Brazil spurred him on to launching the ‘Missionary Movement – Jesus
in thy neighbour’. With t his
in mind, it would only be natural that this NGO’s initial philanthropic
efforts were based over there. To date, Il-Moviment has over 18,000
children under its case in Brazil alone, spread over various states within
the country.
O
Padre Jorge Grima trabalhou por 12 anos no Brasil. Vendo tanto sofrimento
nas crianças Brasileiras, decidiu de fazer a parte dele. Não adiante
grita só, é importante que cada um faça a sua parte para melhora a vida
das crianças. Assim, foi fundado o Movimento para acolher com carinho
cada criança. Hoje temos 102 casas no Brasil.
General
Duties
Sheltering of street and orphan children in urban
and rural areas.
Construction of Kindergartens that provide especially for young children.
This is especially important when a mother is unmarried, enabling her to
go to work.
The provision of food programs in various locations where poverty is rife.
The setting up of health centres for child victims of HIV/AIDS. In such
cases, specialised homes are warranted and provided for.
The construction of health centres catering specifically for severely
undernourished children coming from homes where poverty and misery swamp
the good intent of their parents and/or carers. Il-Moviment gives priority
to these cases, and has even committed itself to the situation through the
construction of institutes for this purpose. Very often, such children
remain within the care of il-Moviment during convalescence and recovery
for more than two years, after which they are returned safely and healthy
to their respective families.
To provide children within our care with the necessary educational and
social muscle to improve on their present living standards and to enable
them to participate in the sustained development of their homes.

Casa
do Sonho da Crianca da Divina Misericordia 
In the city of Sao Luis, within the state of
Maranhao. Here Il-Moviment receives children infected with
HIV/AIDS to whom is offered all that is required. More than 400
cases from all the state of Maranhao are welcomed through its
doors yearly and remain their as residents receiving food and
medicines until they are well enough to go on their way. Each of
the children would usually be accompanied by one parent. This
house also receives children on a transient basis, normally for a
period of a month or less.
Esta
casa no coração de São Luis recebe crianças da cidade e do
interior com o problema do AIDS Eles ficam na casa até que for
necessário com sues pais, quando tem pais. Muitos são orfão e
assim, a casa é deles. NOSSA VOCAÇÃO DEVE SER REPLETA DE
RESPEITO PELOS OUTROS.

Creche
Menino Jesus Amparado, Axixa, Tocantins:
According to the Famine Map of Brazil, this
city is the second listed. In this home we welcome over 150
children every day. There are children who eat and study. It is a
witness of extreme poverty. We need to build a home for the
sisters so as to be able to live in this city and take care of
three homes for poor children. Amongst them is the home of
PIQUIZEIRO, which is currently being built. It is esteemed that
the school of Piquizeiro will cost R$ 21.358,11.
Esta
casa acolhe todos os dias mais de 200 crianças de um dia ate dez
anos vindo de famílias muitos pobres. A cidade de Axixá no
estado de Tocantins é a segunda cidade mais pobre na mapa da fome
do Brasil. |

S.O.S.
Vida Nossa Senhora do Amparo, Bahia:
In this home we host malnourished children from the
state of Bahia. These children were either abandoned on the streets or
coming form extremely poor families. We save these children's live mainly
by giving them a very expensive, but special milk called 'Fariel'.
Unfortunately, the Prefatory doesn't help this home. We have many costly
expenses, especially the salaries. However, in three years, 'only' 12 of
the over one thousand cases received, have died.
Esta
casa construída para acolher crianças que tem pais, muitas vezes, mas
vem a nossa casa desnutridos. Assim, a casa fica com a criança ate 5 anos
para recupera a criança. Muitas vezes estas crianças retornam a nossa
casa, porque na família deles não consegue, acompanhar a criança. Em 3
anos recebemos mais de mil crianças ao qual somente doze não conseguimos
salvar. Trabalho maravilhoso Antes que a criança chega em nossa casa, a
criança já é bem recebida no nosso coração!
