The video was made by youth in the programme who only a few years ago never had contact with computers.</p> <p>It only costs an average USD$400,00 a year to keep a kid protected in our Street Migration Prevention Programme. Thatâs all it costs to change the destiny of an at-risk child at Hummingbird, which was judged as one of the 12 best projects of São Paulo for the esteemed Deutsches Bank Urban Age Award 2008 in strong competition with 133 organizations. We did not win the $100.000 prize as we had hoped, but we were very proud to be among the 12 finalists.</p> <p>YOU can help us to realize this yearâs plans by contributing any amount or signing up as a regular monthly subscriber.</p> <p>I will thank you and most certainly our children will too..

They are in fact limited by that fact, because we are a non-profit organization where our profits are measured in social gain. We are also a small grassroots organization with a very small administration, running on an even smaller budget. We don't have the millions needed for hi-class publicity campaigns in the media, to break through the giving barrier.<br /> Nevertheless, earlier this month we were judged as one of the 12 best projects of São Paulo for the esteemed Deutsches Bank Urban Age Award 2008 in strong competition with 133 organizations. We did not win the $100.000 prize as we had hoped, but we were very proud to be among the 12 finalists. </p> <p>On the award certificate we received at the prize giving ceremony are the following words:<br /> We certify that the REDE CULTURAL BEIJA-FLOR (Hummingbird Cultural Network) distinguishes itself among the 12 best projects of the Deutsches Bank Urban Age Award São Paulo 2008.</p> <p>Thank you to all our supporters for helping to make this possible!.
