The first steps of Casa do Menor in Guinea Bissau
La Guinea Bissau non è stata scelta da noi, ma è frutto di una richiesta di collaborazione da parte del compianto vescovo brasiliano Dom Pedro Zilli in Guinea Bissau, che ha calorosamente invitato e accolto i fondatori di Casa Do Menor, P. Renato e Lucinha, a visitare e scoprire la diocesi di Bafatà, un’area periferica e molto disagiata del piccolo paese dell’Africa occidentale.

The objective of Casa Do Menor is not to arrive with well-defined projects, but to listen deeply to the community and the local reality, to the needs that arise, working with the local people.
The small seed can become a tree that will welcome and support many people.
Our charism: to be a family to give family and opportunities to those who do not feel loved. Help us to make this seed grow so that it may bear much fruit!
