Already before the formation of ACD, Pastor Irani provided assistance to the “Associação Benemérita de Caridade Lar dos Velhinhos“, a retirement home in Guanambi, south-east of Bahia, Brazil. Between 2003 and 2009, it received 9.000 Euros in donation from the ARME group from Deutschlandsberg, Austria. That money was employed to build a laundry and upgrade the old bathrooms. It was also necessary to buy cabinets for clothes and two industrial machines, one for washing and the other for drying garments.
