I am singing, Barry Manilow's  "At the Copa" on Saturday night at the Copacabana Palace for "Cantores do Bem", "Singers for Good" to support a local charity in Rio called "Solar Meninos de Luz".  Every dollar you donate here will go directly to the organization! 

I know this year has been tough with all the natural disasters and I know that people need help all over the world, but I need your support.

Here is some background!

Poverty level in the USA  = $12,082.
Minimum Wage:
Brazil =  $3,600/Yr!  
USA =  $15,080/Yr!   

Our Poverty level in the USA is 3 times more than an average normal person makes in Brazil annually.  You have not seen poor until you visit a Favela!  

This in a country full of wonderful people, wonderful culture and an ever optimistic outlook on life.  Their mission.... "Transform children and adolescents in vulnerable social situation of Cantagalo and Pavão-Pavãozinho communities lives, through preventive actions providing them education and universal humanitarian values full-time, promoting a good man.
