Giraffe heroes are people who raised their voice for very important causes in the world. My favorite hero is Dora Andrade a teacher that teaches to poor kids how to dance in Brazil. Some brazilians thought that only rich children could attend ballet lessons,they didn't agree that in the barrio there were children that danced. They thought that the children would break or dirty things. Today these children are very famous because they bring attention to poor children and allow them to have meals,vaccination,medical controls and computer lessons. Andrade doesn't teach only how to dance but also encourage children to read and to aspire to higher education. The children that danced in Andrade's school, performed before thousands of people. Some rich families faked poverty and tried to enroll their children in Andrade's school. Since Andrade has become very famous she has opened new schools in other towns in Brazil.
