Two years ago, Veja met Villaget, a Brazilian NGO working to promote social justice. The association helps young people of a poor neighbourhood in Porto Alegre, South Brazil, to get work opportunities. Instead of spending idle time on the streets, youngsters get a free professional training in shoe creation.
They go to school in the morning and they learn how to make shoes in the afternoon. Olders teach basic knowledge of design, shoe modelling and confection to youngers.
