You make a donation and wins a piece of art from a design store of Brasilia
 
Weissenhaus, a design store located at 705 Sul (South Aisle of Plano Piloto) started a campaign to raise food donations for the poor of Brasilia. If you donate a cesta básica you get a Eames bird as the ones of the picture below.
Cesta basica is a very popular gift in Brazil for poor people. It is something like a "food basket/ grocery package". You can get that in grocery stores, for example. The cost varies depending of how many items come in the parcel. Prices start with 50 reais.
To make a donation you have to send a direct message to the store in Instagram.   @weissenhaus_
