UNICEF: Queen Rania of Jordan in Brazil

SÃO PAULO, Brazil, 27 October 2008 As part of an official state visit to Brazil, UNICEF's Eminent Advocate for Children, Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan, visited the UNICEF-supported Aprendiz City-School, a non-governmental organization located in the Vila Madalena district of São Paulo last week. During her visit, Queen Rania became familiar with this 'school for life' a programme which represents the best in education. The school recognizes that being educated is much more than just reading and writing and works to address the needs of children, their families and the community. I was very impressed with my visit this morning to the UNICEF-supported Aprendiz City-School here in São Paulo, said Queen Rania. I was particularly inspired by the interest in learning of the children and adolescents who are benefiting from this innovative education programme.
