project update | Andrew's visit to Brazil

"I have just returned from a visit to some of our project partners in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo – and as always I came back feeling inspired to do as much as we can to offer the support they so desperately need. I heard the story of a 15 year old boy who needed a second chance - to quite literally save his life. He had carried his friend home on his back, just after he had been shot dead in a violent clash in the neighbouring Vidigal. The very next day there was only one place he could turn to for help."


Andrew Webb - CEO (ABC Trust)

Fundraising: Illumination


Students at Marlborough College in Wiltshire raised £1,000 for Lily Hastings Bass Memorial Fund. A night of music, art and poetry called ‘Illumination’ which traditionally marks the end of the academic year at the college was used to collect donations for an Old Mulburienne, Lily Hastings Bass. Lily’s parents set up a memorial fund with the ABC Trust in honour of their daughter, who fell in love with Brazil but sadly died after an accident.
