142. ISSUE
This is a lack of affordable activities for
youth in Mauritius that acts an alternative to
the negative activities which surround them.

143. “There is unfortunately not much
interaction among family members, and kids
are left on their own and lack support.
Apart from school they don't meet the right
people and they are not exposed enough for
them to decide the right step and what they
want to do.”
Ricken, Mauritius

167. “Capoeira brings together everybody
and could really benefit everyone
because you learn to not see the other
as an enemy but as a friend, a player
just like them.”
- Volodia, 15 years old

169. VISION
To build a future generation that values
respect for themselves and others, and is
able to express themselves without the use
of violence.

172. Thank you

173. “Capoeira is a martial art which creates
a bond within the group and makes it
feel like a family. This feeling of forming
part of a group which you can rely on,
share, express yourself, gives a relief
that there are people for you and can
compensate any lack of support you
experience at home.”
- Capoeira Student

174. Ricken: “It is a feel good factor which relieves you from your everyday stress and binds you
within a group so you know there is always people around you who speak the same
language.”
Jenna: “It feeds my competitive streak, not in the sense that I want to beat my opponent
but more in the way that I wanna improve and surpass myself.”
Volodia, 15: “Capoeira brings together everybody and could really benefit everyone
because you learn to not see the other as an enemy but as a friend, a player just like
them.”
Umar: “Capoeira invites and takes care of everyone as family so these children get a
home.”
Umar: “Capoeira is one of the few things that always puts a smile on my face”
Deelan, 15: “In the beginning I viewed it as a simple martial art but it's much more that
that now, it is more like a passion, and by the way it keeps me fit.”
Arthur, 15: “It helped me alot in the way that I became more social than before, and i'm
way more fit. I also really like the capoeira philosophy and cultural part that is really
interesting.”
Umar: “Capoeira helps you leave all your worries and problems outside the roda.”
