The 10-year-old boy Adriano Álvaro Melo, known as Alvinho, is in Bahia to participate in a national meeting of gifted children and adolescents, which takes place until this Monday in Salvador. The invitation came from Júlio Campos Filho, president of Mensa Brasil, the organizing entity of the event that covered all travel, accommodation, and meal expenses for the boy and his mother.
Alvinho was invited to relaunch a book and will have open agenda during the event. According to Júlio César, the boy had already been associated with the entity, but his registration was inactive.
The boy had also previously participated in a contest promoted by the association, which offered cash prizes to participants. At that time, he competed with the game Super Alvinho, created by him after participating in a previous edition of the meeting.
