RAP da Saúde, an initiative of the Municipal Health Department of Rio de Janeiro, a longterm partner of CEPIA, celebrated the graduation of the adolescents who participated in the Course Adolescents and Youth’s Health Promoters. The event brought together representatives of the Department of Health, the group of more than 100 adolescents who are part of the Program and their relatives. It was an event of great emotion and recognition for the fundamental role that RAP da Saúde plays in the lives of many teenagers in Rio de Janeiro, most of whom are in a situation of social vulnerability.
Kézia Sampaio, master of ceremonies for the event, along with Gabriel Brandão, in addition to being part of the CEPIA’s team, also participate in the RAP and were present at the graduation ceremony, along with Andrea Romani, who was invited to compose the Making a Difference panel of partner institutions. Our special thanks to Márcio Baptista for the invitation.
