Brazil launches new volunteer program and elder‑care educational guide

The Brazilian Association of Educational Foundations (AEB) introduced a new volunteer program, positioning volunteers as a strategic human‑resources asset focused on purpose‑driven service. Coordinator Renata emphasized onboarding, mutual respect, and the exchange of professional knowledge to strengthen the institution’s mission.

Separately, the Lar dos Idosos Perseverança in Paranaguá released the fifth edition of the "A Velha Infância" booklet, part of the national June Violet campaign against elder abuse. The booklet uses child‑friendly language and illustrations to educate young people about different forms of violence toward seniors, fostering intergenerational connections through stories, cultural activities, and community involvement.
