Lúcia Moreira Salles was named president of Riovoluntário, a non-governmental organization based in Rio de Janeiro, in August 2000. Under her leadership, Riovoluntário has launched "Projecto Brasileirinho," an initiative to improve the quality of day care for children from newborns to four years old, and the organization itself has gained national and global recognition as a symbol for voluntarism.
