Is the power behind our progress

A significant part of Love Together’s progress has been made possible through the dedication of our ambassador, Daiane Sodré.
To date, 60% of the construction of the Educational, Cultural, and Sports Center has been made possible through her leadership and mobilization.
From the acquisition of the land, to the preparation of the site, the construction of the wall, and the beginning and continuation of the building, her contributions have been present in every stage of this journey.
As host of the annual Love Together USA Benefit Dinner, Daiane brings together a community committed to transforming lives.
Through her voice, influence, and generosity, she continues to help bring education, opportunity, and hope to more than 5,000 people every year.
