UNESCO recognizes the work being done by the Julia Thomson Memorial Trust and calls it a “Project of Opportunities”.
On the 26th November 2013, UNESCO in conjunction with the charitable organisation “Crianca Esperanca”, (Child of Hope), held an event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in recognition of “the quality and excellence” of various projects whose aims are to better the lives of children and young people from various regions of the country.
They said in respect of what we are doing, “The continuing involvement of your project is very important to the “Child of Hope” so that ordinary Brazilians can participate in what is being done to better the situation of the poor in Brazil”
