And here is the GOOD NEWS:
With all the individual donations and the support of Câmara Municipal de Alcanena (city council) approved last Monday, we were able to reach the minimum (8.900) to carry out the project to revitalize Minderico.

Personally and on behalf of the team, I would like to thank you for believing in our work. We are not far from the total amount needed and your help is still fundamental!

Princess Pea is now an official partner of our campaign. Princess Pea is particularly interested in helping with the children's book.

"Princess Pea is a brand of products of daily use valued through the art of illustration. Based on the vast universe of folk tales for children, Princess Pea fancies the most different times of day-to-day, making the illustration of some of the most respected national [Portuguese] illustrators more visible, more accesible and more appreciated."
