The ongoing dialogue between the Brazil Fund team and its supported projects is done through phone calls, via email and with visits to partners in places where their actions are taken. Since 2007 Brazil Fund representatives have visited about 40 of the 141 supported projects. The activity has the purpose of monitoring the work being carried out and providing technical support when needed.
This year Maíra Junqueira, Project Coordinator, has already visited organizations in the Northeast and South of the country. In February, accompanied by the Project Assistant, Maria Chiriano, she met with NGOs from Maranhão. In March, along with the Finance Director of the foundation, Denise Dora, she visited groups of Rio Grande do Sul.
