TESTIMONIALS

See below the depositions of some of our partnerships, children, youth and mothers who are attended to by Projeto Quixote.


“For PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the construction of ample solid, lasting relationships, is the differential, which guarantees the quality of the services we offer. At Projeto Quixote, we encounter this same concern for entidade: create and maintain relationships in various areas, be it education or health, with businesses, with the University, with a esfera publica or with a community in the region, always in favour of the insertion of children and adolescents in at-risk situations, both socially and economically speaking. These relationships are built by the people of Quixote with sincerity and competence and primarily, considerable communication between partners.”
Wander Teles – partner, PriceWaterhouseCoopers

“I find that well-being is being financed through the QXT education for work program. It represents an opportunity for youth to have a profession. The work is done in a way that is interesting, educational and I see them working with pleasure, joy, within the hip-hop movement, meeting with the interests of these youth. It is a way of using the same language so that the youth can evolve. The work is of a high quality, involving communication and expertise. It is worth investing in QXT.”
Janete Ribeiro da Mota –Quixote Project Manager at Petrobras

“The greatest difference with Projeto Quixote is in regards to the credibility, competence and seriousness which the NGO comes to actualize joint with public power, in supplying subsidies for public policy, as well as non-governmental projects for the prevention and treatment of children and adolescents in situations of social vulnerability, and who are drug-users.”
Floriano Pessaro – Sao Paulo Municipal Secretary for Development and Social Assistance

“The difference with Projeto Quixote is the qualifications of the people who integrate and direct the organization. It is the posture, the attitude that these professionals maintain with the adolescents. Auro Lescher ? general coordinator – once commented, for example, that the provision of care for adolescents when they arrive at Quixote, is a process of internment despite the fact that they although they capsize folloied for “escort”, they enter alone. Inside, the relationship is one of a great deal of respect and the treatment given is the same for all of the adolescents. It is admirable.”
Sérgio Mindlin - President of the Telephonic Foundation

“...It is very gratifying to accompany the personal growth of these young people, and to be certain that, after this experience, they will be more prepared to face the obstacles that will come to appear in their lives.”
Roseli Mattos - Librarian with PriceWaterhouseCoopers

“What would you like to do? Michele: - I’d like to be an instructor at a project like this, like Quixote.”
Michele – attended to by Projeto Quixote

“My hope is to have a place of work like Quixote, that understands its employees and that gives us the opportunity to develop ourselves, and that as the company grows, we grow along with it. For just and democratic citizens, this is very good.”
Renan, 16 years old – attended to by Quixote / April 2005

“Quixote aims to install a unit to provide shelter in the Luz district, which would be to improve the lives of these people who seek to forget their drug problems, and with this, to do what they do with us: give hope to the lives of youth who live in the darkness, who are in an abyss of drugs. Prepare them for life, changing them for the better, gaining: education, good friends and learning what it means to have commitments and responsibilities. We would like for others to have the same opportunities we have to develop ourselves.”
Excerpt citation of a youth participant with the Quixote Youth Program/ July 2005

“Don Quixote committed himself to help those in need, with afflictions, anguish, sadness, without courage, without information, without justice, without happiness, abandonned… to combat the oppression of the strong over the weak. This is basically what Projeto Quixote does for all of us, helping as psychologists, doctors, educators, to get away from drugs and not to steal. They nourish and care about our health and our minds.”
