Connecting classroom concepts with real-world success! ☕✨️

Last week, our senior high school Entrepreneurship students headed to Ipanema to visit Aussie Coffee and see a thriving business model up close, led by founder Daniel Hobbs!

Beyond getting a behind-the-scenes look at running a successful business, something truly special happened: our students reconnected with school alumni currently working there! They shared real talk about life after graduation and stepping into the business world. 🎓✨

We’re proud to pave the way for their future, but we can’t do it alone. As we expand this program, we are looking for corporate partners who believe in the power of education, culture, and youth development to transform lives. 🚀

🤝 Does your company value education and youth empowerment? Let’s talk!

🎉 10 years of transforming lives through education! 🌟

This year, EduMais celebrates a decade of history. And it’s not just any decade: it’s 10 years of opening doors, breaking barriers, building connections, and creating opportunities for our children and youth. ✨️

Thanks to every supporter, volunteer, and team member, our diverse programs for children, teenagers, and young adults continue to grow and expand even further. 💙

EduMais founder and director, Diana Nijboer, shared a special message about this meaningful milestone: “Nothing brings greater joy than creating opportunities for our youth to thrive. The past 10 years of EduMais passed in the blink of an eye. It has been the most daring adventure of my life, and by far the most fulfilling. Watching the young people we educate grow, become self-reliant, and create a lasting impact is the greatest reward I could ever ask for.”

A huge thank you to everyone who is part of this journey, whether by donating, volunteering, or sharing our work on social media. EduMais is built by each and every one of you! 🤝✨
