Support to the Educational Program
of Resistance to Drugs and Violence
-
It is a preventive and strategic program which mainly
intends to educate children at school with the help of policemen in uniforms and teachers. It specially
emphasizes children in the 4th degree of the
Fundamental Teaching by showing them the effects of
the drugs and teaching them the necessary abilities
and motivation to keep themselves away from that
harm. That Program also seeks to offer the students
a chance of seeing the adults as friends and people
who they can trust, by developing a positive
attitude relating to the authorities and respect by
the laws. Our partnership was started on
January/2000, by contributing a monthly amount of
money to collaborate with the expenses of school
books, T-shirts and diplomas for children who
participate the Program.

- Support to Programa Beneficente
“Criança - Cidadão do Futuro”
- The Program intends to assist
children and adolescents devoid of the essential
conditions for their subsistence as fundamental
instruction, nourishment, health, leisure, habitation and
professional development. It maintains, for children and
adolescents in the 10 – 14 age group, a program of
pedagogic and material assistances which assure the
admittance and permanence at school until they get the
Conclusion Certificate of the 1st degree of the regular
teaching. For children in the 15 – 17 age group, it

the young’s ability to enter the work market. We

ground coffee. That Program assists 210 children and

- Movement for Adults Reading Teaching
- In 1997, the Municipal
Secretary of Education started that Movement. At first,
teachers, who were available as volunteers, were contacted
to teach adults reading in the quarters whose demand was
urgent and necessary. In some points of the town,
community leaders and priests, pledged to develop the
citizenship of the population from their quarters,
contacted the Town Hall to make a joint effort to install
those classes for adults reading teaching. Thus, the
Government of Catanduva, through the Secretary of
Education, started carrying out one more of its Program
points by beginning some preliminary studies to establish
that Movement. Cocam collaborates monthly with the
payment of a reading teacher.
