CRIATING OPORTUNITIES PROMOTING SUSTENTABLE DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVATING CITIZENSHIP

Dear partners, We are very proud to look at the 11 years of existence of GERAR and we are sure that we offer real opportunities for thousands of people. It is really good to look at our institution and realize that by means of the programs we develop it was possible to promote changes in thousands of people's lives of different ages in several parts of the country, through educational actions, economic, environmental, cultural, social and sportive development. Nowadays we have a head office in Curitiba and sub offices in the countryside of Paraná and Santa Catarina, but we have already acted in several cities of Parana, Santa Catarina, São Paulo, Bahia, Pernambuco, Acre and Ceará. In all those places we had the privilege of having extremely relevant partners who were concerning about our country's reality changes. We have already had the honor of counting on partners like the Ministry of Social Development and Hunger Fighting (MDS), Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE), Santander Bank, Petrobras, Roberto Marinho Foundation, among others. We are convicted that the success of those actions would not have happened if we worked alone. Each result we achieved over the years only became possible because of our partners. An example of the results we achieved was the acknowledgment of Gerar Methodology of Work and Income Generation, which generated important awards in the third section area. This methodology had fundamental participation of Dr. Zilda Arns who was Oscip Gerar's president of honor for several years. In 2014 the achieved results were excellent. We had 200 direct and indirect contributors. We kept the partnership in the three levels of the Public Power and we gave transparency in the economic results. In 2015 we look for new partners to develop social and environmental projects that promote environmental and sustainability transformations. Improving our actions we will present increasingly excellence and effectiveness. It is possible to learn more on the next pages about Gerar's intervention way on Brazilian environmental issues and how we are changing this reality. - Francisco Reinord Essert - Superintendent - Heloisa Arns - Superintendent
