Donate a "basic basket"!
The arrival of a "basic basket", donated through the Agata Smeralda Project, has, for a number of years, brought happiness to children in the favelas of Salvador.
What is a "basic basket"?
It is simply a shopping bag filled with all kinds of food: milk, biscuits, chocolate, sugar, coffee, all types of fruit, beans, manioca, eggs, chickeen, pasta, and a Christmas cake. Or rather, a "panettone" made in the bakery founded several years ago by the Agata Smeralda Project as a means of professional training, and now attended by tens of young people. The basic basket therefore is just a simple bag of shopping to us, but a bundle of joy and solidarity to little Brazilians.
How do I send one or more basic baskets to children in Brazil?
It's very simple. All you have to do is send an offer of 37 euro (or multiples of), and the money will immediately be transferred to Brazil, all of which will be used for the purchase of the necessary foods. Current accounts are used for the money transfers:
- Bank credit transfer IBAN IT54M 03400 02999 000000001111
Banca Toscana agenzia 19, via Cavour 82/a, Firenze, Italy
make out to PROGETTO AGATA SMERALDA, Via Cavour 92, 50129 FIRENZE, ITALY specifying the description of payment: “For basic basket”.
Spreading the initiative!
In an increasing number of families, schools and communities are choosing the "basic basket" proposal as a way to open their generous hearts to those less fortunate. Some collect small donations from many people, using the gathered funds to send one or more baskets; there are also companies who refuse company donations, instead giving what they would have spent to offer basic baskets. Everyone is therefore invited to make more people – be it within your own family, office or parish – aware of this initiative.
