My name is Samuel van de Raa de Souza. I am 34 years old and married for 9 years with Laura van de Raa. We have 4 children, Noa (8 years), Davi (6), Joëlle (4) and Anna (1). Laura and I are the founders of Foundation  New Generation Brasil, because of our long time ambition to use our talents to help disadvantaged children in Brazil to build a better future.

I was born and raised in Brazil. My family has a long and proud history of children’s work in Brazil. My grandparents, Klaas and Jannie van de Raa, moved as pioneers to Brazil to accomplish work where children benefit from up to the present day. I grew up with the care for underprivileged children. Since childhood I had a desire to help them. My dream is to establish a large organization in Brazil. An organization where many children are cared for every day. A place that offers them shelter, education and training to build a better future. First, I am grateful to God for the fact that we can do this. I am also proud of the people that support Laura and me. I am very grateful for everyone. Can we count on your support and help? If you have questions or comments please let me know.
