Reports from our talents
Gabriel Campos - Junior ESG Analyst

"I learned about Lingopass through a friend who explained the EPT program and the scholarships offered, and I decided to embark on the journey of learning a new language. From day one, I loved the environment, the people, and how everything worked to provide a good experience for the students, which motivated me even more to focus on my studies. Today, working directly with the EPT program, I see the happiness in the selected students as they participate in this project that opens doors to various opportunities, and that motivates me every day. Knowing that I was once one of the students served and that today I make a difference in the lives of others makes me very satisfied with the purpose of the program and the achievements I have obtained along the way, in addition, of course, to being able to continue studying and giving my best. Today, one of my hobbies is studying languages ​​and knowing that I am evolving in various areas."

I would even like to continue learning other languages with Lingopass."
Yoinner Léon Vera
ONG Hermanitos | Refugee
"Lingopass is a platform that has everything you need for learning — it is clear, specific, and very easy to use, while also offering a wide range of knowledge. It also provides the freedom to study at any time, whenever you have a free moment."
Poliana Moreira
ONG Instituto Progueto, SP 
"I am grateful to Lingopass for the incredible initiative of fostering culture and English learning in my community, and to Instituto Progueto for the beautiful work they have been doing. I can see that the work being done through the Empowering Talents program is reaching an entire community. I have no words to describe how impactful this is in our lives."
Larissa Azevedo
ONG Cruzando Histórias, PE
"During this period of unemployment, this is an opportunity I have to study and qualify myself, so that I am prepared for whatever opportunities may come. I can only thank the entire Lingopass team for the dedication and commitment in providing us with the best classes and an incredible platform. Thank you all!"
Raphael Brito
ONG Instituto Mari Vive, SP
"I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to learn the English language — it is like entering a new world, being able to understand things that previously made no sense. I can only thank everyone for the effort, dedication, and patience they have had and continue to have with us. Thx a lot Lingopass!"
Camila Tavares
ONG Ensina Brasil, São Luís/MA
"Neither yesterday nor today would I have the means to take an English course, and even facing hardships along the way, knowing that English can change my reality gives me the resilience to keep moving forward bravely. A huge thank you to the entire Lingopass team and Board for this opportunity, especially to Alexandrine, André, and our mentor Mário."
Lucas Maia
ONG Ensina Brasil, Brasília/DF
"I never had the opportunity to take an English course due to life's setbacks and the daily rush to help my mother put food on the table. I hope other people can also gain access to what is so hard for low-income individuals. My deepest thanks to everyone involved, especially Lingopass and Ensina Brasil!"
Mayara Faria
Fundação Everis, RJ
"In the community where I come from, there are no opportunities for growth and development — I had never encountered a landscape of possibilities before. Every donation of time, every contribution and partnership is real, for real young people. Young people like me whose destinies are changed forever. Keep believing in children and young people. You are planting good seeds for the future!"
Maria Rita
ONG Gerando Falcões, SP
"I admit that at various points in my life I tried to learn English — at school, on my own, with a friend — but I never made progress or simply gave up. But with Lingopass it was different. When I look at my progress in English, at the fact that I can at least understand a text, I already feel extremely motivated and emotional, because it may seem small, but it is something I had never been able to do."
Raissa Oliveira
ONG Rio Rugby FC, RJ | NGO leader / Beneficiary
"After completing level A0, I realized how capable I am of learning new things. It raised my self-esteem and helped me dream of things that had never crossed my mind before, like an international trip. As the leader of my organization, I observed the other four beneficiaries up close and saw how this entire movement enriches their life paths by opening new experiences."
Isabella Ferreira Marcolino
Fundação Everis, Guarulhos/SP
"From the very beginning I was excited about this project because I had never had the opportunity to learn English with the quality I am experiencing now. I believe education is precious and we must seize every opportunity that life gives us. Thank you for donating your time — everyone's contribution is making a huge difference in our lives!"
Hellen Caroline
ONG Casa José Coltro, SP
"Before starting the course, I thought I would never learn anything — I always found it very difficult to learn another language. But at Lingopass I could see that my assumption was completely wrong. I am immensely grateful that you are providing not just a language, but a future for all of us!"
Larissa Botelho
Fundação Projeto Pescar, RS
"Gratitude is the word I bring today. The course has been quite a challenge, and I can only thank Empowering Talents for giving me this opportunity. I know this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance that will help me greatly in the future, and I will make the most of it for sure."
Daniel Oliveira
ONG Instituto Ação e Educação (IAE), SP
"In just one month I learned so many things I used to struggle with. Studying the A0 units made me want to practice my English even more. I am grateful that in such a short time you have already managed to give so many people the opportunity to learn English in a way everyone can participate."
Tamara Amorim
ONG Cruzando Histórias, Jacareí/SP
"I feel deeply grateful for being selected to take a free, high-quality English course in the middle of a pandemic and unemployment. I am happy to be involved with Cruzando Histórias, the project that welcomed me with such warmth. I believe this will be a turning point for many opportunities that will arise in our life journey."
Leticia Ester Souza Silva
ONG Instituto Ação e Educação (IAE), SP
"As one of the young people selected for the program, I feel grateful for this unique opportunity. This is one of those good things that happens in your life and you hold on to with everything you've got. English went from being a dream to a possible dream for me."
Lina Amaral Caetano
SoulCode Academy, Varginha/MG | Social scholarship recipient
"The secret to going so far in so little time is consistency. If I didn't pay for this, someone paid for me — and I didn't want to waste that investment. English is already impacting my life; you can't talk about technology and programming without speaking English. I am even more excited and prepared to fulfill my dream of living abroad."
Beatriz Sanches
Fundação Everis, SP
"This course was an opportunity I had always wanted. I always wanted to improve my English, and this course gave me far more than I ever imagined! I can only thank Empowering Talents and Fundação Everis for believing in me. The word that sums it all up is Gratitude!"
Alice Ferreira

"If young people are the future of the country, then those who support their development are directly responsible for building a greater nation. Thank you so much to all of you who care about and believe in the power of education."
