South Jordan, Utah (PRWEB) October 29, 2014 -- MonaVie and the MORE Project are pleased to announce the second annual World Day of Giving to take place Saturday, November 1, 2014.

This is a day that the company's distributors, brand promoters, employees, friends and supporters in Utah and around the world can unite and give what they can on behalf of the children and families in need who benefit from MORE Project funds.

To commemorate this day, the MORE Project will be holding a Brazilian celebration event from 5–8 p.m., Saturday, November 1, at MonaVie’s Corporate Headquarters, 10855 S. Riverfront Parkway, South Jordan, Utah. Everyone is invited to this event where there will be:

  • Brazilian food
  • Dances and musicians
  • Capoeira performance
  • Jewelry and other items for sale
  • Games and family activities
  • Silent auction

The MORE Project, founded by MonaVie and funded by MonaVie and distributor donations, operates in five of the favelas (slums) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where chaos and indecent surroundings reign. To give you a visual, growing up in the favelas entails…

  • Open sewers in your backyard and no running water
  • Little opportunity to properly wash daily
  • Chronic hunger
  • Violence stemming from police actions or gang wars
  • Abuse in the home
  • Having to choose between the offer of sex for money or not eating

The MORE Project’s goal is to transform the next generation by eradicating poverty and conflict present in these undeserved communities, such as violence, drugs, early pregnancy, child prostitution, abandonment and school delay. The MORE Project instills in each child the assurance that their life is valuable and that they can rise above their surroundings. We provide this optimistic feeling in many different ways.

10 Ways Your Gift Will Make a Difference on the MORE World Day of Giving:
1. Educate 600 students and 300 adults
2. Provide 5,300 meals per month for hungry families
3. Teach children to read
4. Keep children away from drugs
5. Help children stay in school
6. Teach computer skills
7. Operate three schools
8. Provide counseling and social services
9. Build homes for families and provide protection for at-risk youth
10. Provide dance, soccer, and jiu-jitsu lessons

“Our passion is to get people with kids who do not have a chance and give them a chance so their dreams can also become a reality,” said Estevão Ponce, global director of the MORE Project. “We have an amazing program but you know what, we’re not done. Our vision is so much bigger and that’s why we need your help.”
