The ICCA delegate for the Fogo/Brava region, Samira Teixeira said that the holiday camp has as main focus the elimination of child labour, stressing that one of the means to combat this social evil is to bet on the diversity of playful-pedagogical activity, because the ICCA believes that it is an important tool for personal development, social and intellectual rights in this age group she explained.
