So we have this project that is creating more and more visibility. We want to integrate and have Brazilians cheer for the refugees. Not only helping financially but also cheering, extending a helping hand to those from abroad. It is something more welcoming for those coming to Brazil,\u201d explained \u00c1frica do Cora\u00e7\u00e3o president Jean Katumba.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the championship, the project holds workshops for the refugees\u2019 integration including lectures, a refugee concert, a refugee cultural evening, workshops for refugee children, and a fashion show.
