“One day I was invited to visit Moinho to see the works. Everyone was full of mystery, exchanging smiles, and I did not understand a thing, until we reached the end of the staircase leading to the Beatriz de Almeida hall: there was a picture on the wall covered by a cloth! What a surprise! It was a huge photo of me, a tribute to Moinho’s ‘godmother’. Wow, I cried so much, out of emotion! I had never received something so beautiful, a gift, a tribute, an honor and a responsibility!”
“It is a very serious project in the heart of the Pantanal that I believe in, and I think the rest of Brazil should take Moinho as an example. I am proud to share in its success.”
“Every time we come to Moinho it is a gratifying feeling, as we can see the growth and seriousness of the project. These children touched me deeply.”
“It is a school that teaches the path of good through art, coexistence and respect, and that is called citizenship.”
“Children are the future. Moinho Cultural gives children a horizon, the opportunity of schooling, the opportunity to grow, to know what is best and to pass it on.”
“These children’s progress is the result of the planning and infrastructure that sustain the project, with the participation of the teachers.”
“Here is a true statement: the importance of art in society, a meeting point for young people from all social backgrounds with a great future. It is a project that will carry on by itself, where culture is breathed, where you hear and see art pulsing in every corner. There is a very strong energy, a uniform grassroots work.”
“It is rewarding to see everyone’s effort for the success of the school and the performance. Congratulations to all.”
“When I was invited to conduct the Moinho Cultural Orchestra, I accepted right away, even though it is so far from Rio de Janeiro. Because since I was little I learned that we must work for others, and that is exactly what Moinho Cultural does: it truly transforms these children’s lives.”
“This initiative should be spread throughout Brazil, an example of citizenship and Latin American integration that our leaders should embrace and support.”
“Moinho is a fabulous cultural and social program. It is a pleasure to be here!”
“I am speechless, I can only thank, from the bottom of my heart, all of you who enchanted us today. I cried a lot, I did not expect so much quality, so much talent; I always believed in you, but I did not know it would be this fast to have so much quality, so much talent as you have.”
“On this visit to Corumbá I had the opportunity to see, in the sparkle of the children’s and teenagers’ eyes, the greatness, quality and reach of Moinho Cultural’s work. The impression I take from here is one of pride in being part of such a fantastically conceived, built and practiced initiative, which has enormous potential not only for Corumbá, but for a region of Brazil that connects with other Latin American countries.”
“Moinho fulfills its role of bringing people together; I came for an exchange, it is very good to be here, there is always a fresh air about it.”
“Incredible project, my homeland…”
“Moinho Cultural provides an opportunity for everyone who loves to play and dance, with instruments to play and teachers to teach; we would hardly have any musical and social program for these children if it were not for Moinho Cultural.”
“It was here at Moinho Cultural that I learned the small things from the children; they are the best teachers, they teach you to be human, to respect differences, and give you the start to know what you want from life…
Being with them again is wonderful, I LOVE this project. Inside the classroom you are not just a teacher, you are a transformer. That is why I think Moinho Cultural is incredible!”
“When I come to Corumbá and contemplate the social, developmental and restorative work promoted by Moinho Cultural, it brings tears to my eyes, tears of joy, to be able to see competent, dedicated professionals in a work that shelters almost 300 children and adolescents; it is of a dimension that is hard to measure.”
“I travel the whole world filming, I make many series for Globosat’s OFF channel, but knowing there is such an active cultural hub in the Pantanal, I find it very special. I am totally in favor of promoting Culture, not just the kind of music we hear today that often has crude, overly loud lyrics. It is good to have real culture, whether folk culture, classical music, dance; culture is everything. It does you good.”
“Getting to know the work of Moinho Cultural was beautiful! Work devoted to the human being, believing that through art there can be real transformation, real improvement for everyone. If you do not know it yet, I invite you to visit this wonderful space.”
