| Ipanema closed another sales contract with the Spanish company Cia. Mercantil del Café (CMC) and renewed the partnership contract in two social projects carried out by Instituto Ipanema. CMC has been investing in this line of action in social projects for many years, which has contributed to consolidate the project. . The main purpose of the Chemical Addiction Rehabilitation program is to develop activities to rehabilitate youngsters with chemical addiction problems. Monthly, Ipanema contributes to those entities with a budgetary supplement for the entities to acquire food and materials. In the Street Dwellers Rehabilitation program, youngsters and panhandlers are sheltered. CMC is very active socially and annually it orders Christmas cards from APAE - an institution for individuals with special needs - aimed at helping the entity. In 2006, 2,500 Christmas cards were bought, made by the assisted children. |
