#005 Hilario Polanco - Helping Kids Fly High in Brazil
GC Talk with Boe Ellis · 2026-03-30 · 32 min
Episode notes
Pastor Hilario Polanco couldn't adopt just one kid, so he adopted the whole neighborhood. Well, not exactly, but what he did to create a safe, Gospel-centered before-school / after-school place for kids has transformed hundreds of lives and families, and the whole town for Christ. From Bible camps, and games, to martial arts, music and violin lessons, Voando Alto (The Flying High Foundation) is a Brazilian NGO with an all-volunteer staff that provides supplies and resources, food and health care, and most of all, a loving environment where kids from mostly poor, single-parent homes can grow. Ongoing and future projects include an on-site dental clinic, and finishing up construction of a gym and job-skills center that will double as a neighborhood community center and a launching pad for microbusinesses.
