The recognized Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho joined Mango to create 6 t-shirts for women, illustrated with sentences of his own. Under the name Mango & Paulo Coelho, this mini-collection is available in 450 stores in 68 countries and Mango aims to raise funds for the charitable organization that has the name of the writer and assist the most disadvantaged members of Brazilian society: children and elderly.
Currently, Paulo Coelho is one of the most influential contemporary writers. With more than 100 million copies sold in 160 countries, he's the most translated living writer of our times (his works were translated from Portuguese to other 66 languages).
The Instituição Paulo Coelho (The Paulo Coelho Institution), a nonprofit institution whose funding comes exclusively from the copyrights of the writer, was founded in 1996 with the aim "to do something for humanity," explained the writer during the presentation of t-shirts in Madrid . "I knew it was impossible to change my country, Brazil. It was impossible to change my state, it was impossible to change my neighborhood, but could change my street, at the end of which there is a favela (the complex formed by the hills and Cantagalo peacock-Pavãozinho, between Ipanema and Copacabana), "he added.
