Historic

​

When the art teacher Rafaela Brito joined the Group in 2016 as a volunteer, the goal was to do some workshops and awaken the artistic interest of the children and teenagers being assisted. The artist united children's painting and musicalization in her workshops and worked all the children's creative potential. The workshops worked so well that the children did not let her go and the teacher became part of the institution's staff.

​

Rafaela realized that in addition to knowledge, these two fields of art, music and painting, are able to positively access the emotional state of children.

​

The GACC-RN band received the name "Flor de Cacti", an analogy between the difficulties in fighting cancer, represented by the thorns of the plant, and the talent that emerges in sensitive moments, which are the flowers that sprout in the midst of pain and suffering. More than that, the cactus is a symbol of strength and resilience in arid environments, growing with the power of the sun and strengthening with its surroundings.
