Also the Brazilian Association is adding to this program a series of activities related to the Brazilian Portuguese language and the Brazilian Culture, planned and presented by an education professional, Camila D'Avila. This will be a wonderful opportunity for children to get in touch with the Portuguese Language and the Brazilian Culture through stories, songs and other fun activities.
