RORAIMA – Entities from the State of Roraima mobilized to help the victims of the floods that hit the State of Rio Grande do Sul. At least 85% of the cities in the region were affected; more than 130 people are missing; and at least 100 people died.

Among the actions carried out in Roraima are the collection of food, water and hygiene items. Furthermore, a team from the Roraima State Military Fire Department (CBM-RR) was sent to the south of the country to assist in rescue actions and help for homeless people.

Among the shows confirmed so far are Cássia Kyss; Xote de Buteco; Remela de Gato Band; Anny Lopes; Denies Ray; Juninho Pegada; Gabriel Carreiro; Neto Andrade; Baby Boaventura; John Mayson; Richard Andresson; Kleber Lopes; Felipe Flores; Ello Machado; Chiquinho Pinho and Fagner França.

During the event, non-perishable food, mattresses, shoes, blankets and other items that help people alleviate the inconvenience caused by the environmental disaster will also be collected.

The action is in partnership with the City of Boa Vista and the Centro de Tradições Gaúchas de Roraima (CTG-RR), which has become a collection point for items. “We are asking for the collaboration of everyone in Roraima to donate some articles to send to Rio Grande do Sul”, publicized the CTG on social media.
