Habonim Dror Brazil

The movement arrived in Brazil by influences of the Argentine activists, and began in Porto Alegre (Southern Brazil) in 1945. Within a few years, Habonim reached Curitiba, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Some time later, it arrived in Recife, Salvador and Belo Horizonte, with their youngest branch at Niteroi being founded in 2004. At these eight branches across the country, Habonim runs weekly activities for children, teenagers and young adults from 7 to 22 years old.
