Elaine Silveira at South Kids International

Elaine Silveira was born in Rio de Janeiro to a family with four children. The difficulties of growing up in Brazil inspired her to make a difference in the lives of Brazilian children. Elaine realized the growing problem of abandoned children in the streets of Brazil, and founded a nonprofit called South Kids International. Today, Elaine is married, working at South Kids International and traveling the world as a part-time flight attendant. She has learned the value of giving and the enrichment of receiving in many ways, through health, friendship and accomplishments in life.
