Last Monday, December 16th, presenter Aires Cossa revealed, on the TV Sucesso program “Batidas”, an important solidarity initiative in support of singer Valter Artístico. More than 400 people, including artists and ordinary citizens, are mobilized in a WhatsApp group created to raise funds.
The campaign, led by the artist Boneca Barbie, has already raised over 200,000 meticais, demonstrating the strength of unity among the participants. Among them are prominent figures such as the musician Mr. Bow, who donated 5,000 meticais, encouraging others to contribute generously. The presenter also mentioned that this mobilization created a kind of healthy "competition" within the group, with donations ranging from 300 to 5,000 meticais.
Barbie Doll, the movement's creator, stated that the initiative will not be limited to Valter Artístico. Following the success of this campaign, the next beneficiary will be the comedian Mito Munguambe, who suffered a hit-and-run accident three months ago and has faced difficulties ever since, after being abandoned by the person responsible for the incident.
This act of solidarity exemplifies how the union of the artistic community and society can make a difference, demonstrating that Mozambican culture is also driven by empathy and mutual support. This collective effort is a gesture of hope for those facing difficult times and reinforces the importance of solidarity as an essential value within the community.
The campaign remains open for contributions, and Barbie invites everyone interested to join this movement that promises to transform lives.
