In February 2021, Daniel Durante introduced the Escola Da Vida project to Newton Myvett, President of All For One. Myvett, who served as the president of a creative college, was thrilled with the idea of providing children a growing opportunity to express themselves creatively. Daniel Durante, Sr. Professor at Escola Da Vida Project, said creating these opportunities for children can change the destiny of their future.

The project and philosophy align with All For One’s mission and purpose of helping to improve the quality of life for children in a stable environment by focusing on building a strong and sustainable community. All For One embraced the efforts to help children in another region of the world and supports the efforts to help end childhood poverty, improve the quality of life, and empower children to express themselves through the arts and sports in another global community.
