REMIX to RIO?? Sandro explains.

Sandro talks about the Studio project.

Sandro is an activist with IBISS and was in Toronto last week to see how REMIX works it's magic.

Direct translation from clip:

"Now, many of the young ones are getting older, and younger ones are arriving. What do we do now with the older ones? Do we say "thanks for coming, nice having you. Do you remember what you've learned?".

So this idea clicked with the one that of the REMIX program cause in Brazil the youth have been very into hip-hip music and Brazilian funk. Which is a great epidemic. So we got the idea from REMIX to build a studio in the centre so the kids can graduate with the opportunity to find jobs in the fields of video, photography, machine operator. So we’re doing the venture with REMIX to see if we can take and apply these ideas we are seeing with the REMIX program and bring it to Rio. Which I’m sure the youth will appreciate. More importantly, turn them into good citizens. That’s our intention!"

Much thanks to Sid Melo for the translation.
