Raise money for Task Brasil with a Personal Fundraising Page . Renato Costa from from Animalia in Rio de Janeiro has over the years run a food appeal at his Veterinarian Clinic. Early in January 2007 Task Brasil has once again collected a number of boxes containing food, toys and other much needed items donated by his clients. We are grateful for Renato’s and his client’s wonderful efforts! "Rico" is a Groove Jazz artist that plays and sings using a variety of unique electronic and acoustic percussion instruments in South Florida. So Rico along with his friends read an article in the LA Times newspaper when he was residing in Los Angeles a while back about the abandoned children in Brazil and we were saddened and inspired to write a song about the lives of the street children of Rio de Janeiro. It is titled "The Urchins of Brazil". Rico recorded two versions recently and one is a duet that he is currently mixing with his old friend Tata Vega (Oscar nominee for The Color Purple, and backup singer for Andre Crouch, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Chaka Kahn, Patti LaBelle, etc) On his web site there is a MP3 sample of the song for you to hear, background information as well as a pitch for the street kids in the Endorsement section of the website. Since writing the song Rico has collected and sent money to these children through various sources on a regular basis. Rico has now chosen to support the street children through Task Brasil. Rico has added this song on his latest CD and the proceeds from the CD as well as the money collected in tips when heperforms the song at his live concerts, he has set aside for "the kids". Rico has already donated US$1,000 to Task Brasil. Visit Rico's website by clicking here!!.
