The Instituto Projeto Neymar Jr. had the pleasure of welcoming former footballer Emerson Sheik and his wife, Andressa Albuquerque, for a special visit. The couple came to see firsthand the impactful work the institution carries out in transforming the lives of children, adolescents, and their families through education, sports, and social inclusion.

They were warmly received by the Institute’s Vice President, Neymar da Silva Santos, Financial Director Altamiro Bezerra, and Administrative Director José Benício. During the visit, the couple explored the facilities, learned about the educational approach, and witnessed the positive impact generated in the lives of the beneficiaries.

The presence of public figures who recognize the importance of social initiatives strengthens the mission of the Institute and expands its network of support and visibility. By valuing the commitment of the team and the focus on building a better future, Emerson and Andressa reinforced the relevance of the project on a national level.

The visit also served as a moment for sharing experiences and engaging in dialogue about initiatives that place people at the heart of their purpose. Encounters like this further motivate the team and inspire the children, who feel appreciated and seen by figures they admire.
