Altruism Examples Claudio Olmedo

We are excited to highlight a wonderful demonstration of altruism by one of our Karate students, Claudio Olmedo. Claudio is very proud of Brazilian cuisine, in particular he works at Fogo de Chão in Boston. He feels the food there, especially the Brazilian barbecue, is very delicious. In his spare time, he volunteers at a homeless shelter in Cambridge, Harvard Square. Over Thanksgiving break, he wanted to volunteer his time at the shelter and cook a very special Brazilian barbecue dinner for the people there. He wanted to give them a Brazilian barbecue experience just like anyone who goes to Fogo de Chão can experience, so he bought his own oven and prepared a barbecue for the people of the shelter.

We commend Claudio for his kind efforts. It is important in life to give to others freely without expecting anything in return. Claudio’s actions and approach is one way that we can make a difference in peoples’ lives and show kindness to one another as well as share our passions with each other.
