My name’s Orlando. I’m a teacher and I have 28 years old. I came from a village called Sande São Martinho, near two big cities: Braga and Guimarães – Portugal.
I’m the leader of the Youth Group “Novos em Cristo”.
We are a Christian Catholic group. Our work is in our local area. The members are 15-24 years old. We discuss religion and actual social problems (drugs, aids, sexuality, etc.) at weekly meetings and we also help people with social and economic problems. Sometimes we visit them to keep them company. Another thing we do is visit orphanages or the prison. We organize Youth meetings and we like to walk and pray. We already have made pilgrimages from Braga (north of Portugal) to Fátima (south of Portugal) on foot and from Braga to Santiago de Compostela (Spain). Fátima and Santiago de Cospostela are two big centres for pilgrims. We have already taken part in the International Youth Meetings in Italy and Germany.

This are some photos of our group in some activities.
Hope to see you all soon…
