As aventuras de Helena
Helena, a curious 10-year-old girl from Guarulhos, embarks on a journey to help a needy family in her neighborhood. Along the way, she encounters several obstacles and learns valuable lessons about charity and perseverance.
Helena was playing in her backyard when she overheard her parents talking about a family in the neighborhood who had lost everything in a fire. Her curiosity was piqued, and she wanted to help them but didn't know how.
Helena decided to gather donations from her friends and neighbors. She made a list of things the family needed and set off with a hopeful heart.
Her first stop was her best friend, Ana's house. But Ana was away, and her parents said they couldn't help at the moment.
Helena felt a bit discouraged but decided to keep going. She visited a few more houses, but most people were either not home or couldn't contribute.
- Why is it so hard to help? Helena wondered aloud.
Helena decided to try the local grocery store. She thought maybe the store owner could donate some food.
The store owner, Mr. João, was kind but explained that he had his own financial problems and couldn't donate much.
- Maybe I should just give up, Helena sighed.
As Helena left the store, she bumped into her teacher, Ms. Clara. Ms. Clara noticed Helena's sad expression and asked what was wrong.
- I'm trying to help a family, but no one can donate anything, Helena explained.
Ms. Clara smiled gently and said, - Sometimes, helping isn't about giving things. It's about bringing people together. Let's organize a community event!
With renewed energy, Helena and Ms. Clara organized a small festival in the neighborhood park. They planned games, food stalls, and performances.
On the day of the event, people from all over the neighborhood came to participate. They brought food, clothes, and even toys to donate.
- This is amazing! Helena exclaimed as she saw the pile of donations grow.
By the end of the day, they had collected more than enough to help the family. Helena felt proud and happy, knowing she had made a difference.
The grateful family thanked everyone for their help. Helena learned that charity is not just about giving things but also about bringing people together.
