In its 25th edition, the Estrelinha Campaign managed to raise R$25,7 thousand, with more than 200 collaborators, for the purchase of 616 gifts.
In addition to CMEI Flor de Lis, students from the Association of Parents and Friends of the Deaf Foz do Iguaçu (APASFI) and the Mãe Maria Early Childhood Education Center (CEI) also benefited from the action.
“This tradition of solidarity, in which employees recommend educational or social institutions, is embodied in the delivery. Seeing the joy of the children makes this action even more special”, says the coordinator of Volunteer Force Program, Jessica Maciel, quoted by Itaipu's press office.
Santa Claus, played by volunteer Marlon Rodrigues, was paired with a giant capybara, the mascot of the Volunteer Force, which entertained the children at CMEI Flor de Lis. Diego Messias, also a volunteer, was in charge of bringing the rodent to life.
“We are very happy to be able to help an institution that does such beautiful work. It is priceless to dress up and bring joy to these children’s Christmas,” said Messias.

Itaipu Binacional and Itaipu Parquetec concluded, last Saturday (30), during the Iguassu Inova Festival, the 2024 edition of the project Education for Health and Sustainability: Combating Aedes aegypti.
During the ceremony, symbolic certificates were awarded to participants, with the aim of celebrating the activities carried out by teachers and students, which contributed to strengthening the sense of collective responsibility.
The action was supported by 50 cities and 612 schools in the states of Paraná and Mato Grosso do Sul, the plant's coverage area, reaching more than 120 thousand people.
Scholarship teachers Thiago Cardoso da Silva, from the Duque de Caxias Municipal School, and Denise Maria de Paula, from the Vinícius de Moraes Municipal School, both from Foz do Iguaçu, received the trophies, symbolizing all the educators in the project.
