“In such a difficult year with the pandemic, Soul Bilíngue has been one of the best finds I have ever made, especially to go through 2020 with more fun.

It makes English accessible to more people and is also a space that teaches how to dream, teaches about the different realities of our country and how students can build new opportunities from the meetings.” - Luciana Gonçalves, English mentor
“Soul is an institution of great importance which values the low-income population. It shows us that we can dream of something better and do what we want, even if it seems too distant.

"During the English mentoring at Soul, my learning started to be not only possible but fun and exciting. My mentor Beatriz Fabro always supervised me while learning; she was careful. The classes were always interactive, with different activities and fun at each meeting. Beatriz has a huge heart and makes me feel like we're great friends." - Larissa da Conceição dos Santos, Soul student
"Great achievements are accomplished with an initial effort, a handshaking or a simple 'yes'" that, when said sincerely, has the power to make the difference.

To be a Soul mentor is to wake up with the mission of making dreams possible and making young people stars of their own show, capable of transforming their lives and their surroundings." - Matheus Botarro, English mentor
