Comprehensive Education for the children in São Tomé with CACAE Association
OUR PHILOSOPHY
WORD FROM THE FOUNDER
Many of us benefited in our youth from free activities offered by social centers, scouting groups, summer camps, and other institutions. Looking back, we can now acknowledge how these experiences helped us grow in many ways. Now that we are adults, we have the capacity to help others in turn.
To me, this is a fundamental aspect of a normal society, where individuals are part of a whole and not just self-centered.
With this in mind and based on our experience in São Tomé, we realized that offering clubs and activities is one of the best ways, with our limited resources, to contribute to the development of and express our gratitude to this island that welcomed us many years ago.
