Conforme noticiou Ancelmo Gois em sua coluna nesta quarta-feira, o artista estará na Escola Britânica para um evento em prol da Casa Jimmy, instituição que ajuda jovens carentes e adolescentes grávidas, em Santa Teresa. Jimmy vai se apresentar com Pepeu Gomes, George Israel, do Kid Abelha, e bandas formadas por alunos da escola, no auditório da British School, na Urca, às 16h. Quem quiser assistir à apresentação terá de desembolsar, no mínimo, R$ 100 (em pé). Lugares sentados saem a R$ 200. Toda a renda obtida será revertida para a Casa Jimmy, fundada graças a uma doação que o guitarrista fez à ONG Task Brasil Trust quando esteve no país, em 1997. Na ocasião, ocorreu um distúrbio grave na favela próxima ao hotel onde Jimmy ficou hospedado, deixando-o muito impressionado. A Task Brasil Trust foi fundada em 1992, na Inglaterra, e supervisiona projetos implementados no Brasil voltados para o benefício e o apoio às vidas e às necessidades de crianças, adolescentes grávidas e jovens de rua.

SteveAJones Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Casa Jimmy Since 1992, Task Brasil Trust had been raising awareness of the plight of street children. It had also started the educational programme. Yet it was clear that what was needed was a permanent base in Brazil where street children could receive health care and education and above all find a loving home. Help came in the form of rock legend Jimmy Page. Whilst he was in Brazil in 1994, promoting the album 'No Quarter', a minor civil war broke loose in the biggest and most infamous favela (shanty town) in Rio de Janeiro. From his hotel room, Jimmy could see army tanks moving up the hill into the favela. It shocked him to see this happening while he was there. Feeling he needed to do something to relieve the plight of the street children, Jimmy became involved with Task Brasil. With his very generous donation in 1996/97, Task Brasil were able to purchase a house with a large paved yard in the hilltop district of Santa Teresa in Rio de Janeiro. The house was adapted and equipped to house fifteen young children and five teenage girls, with ample space outside for them to exercise and play. There was also room for an office to manage the projects. Fundraising events such as the Scream concert in 1999 have provided further funding, as have sales of limited edition silk screen prints of Jimmy Page and a guitar belonging to Iron Maiden. An annex was added in 1998 to provide storage space and accommodation for volunteers and caretaker. Casa Jimmy started functioning in October 1998 and took its first intake of abandoned street children. Local care workers, youth workers and social workers were employed to provide the best possible care for the children. Since then, over two hundred and fifty children have benefited from the home. http://www.taskbrasil.org.uk/projects/index.cfm?contentid=29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Shot down by whom? It's my understanding the agents handling ticket sales are conveying he will not perform, only appear. Edited to add: He has not cancelled this engagement and of course it is entirely up to him to perform or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brspled Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I, for myself, think that the odds of Jimmy spending the next weekend in Brazil are bigger than he taking part on any supergroup. Told you. I have my sources too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
