Young EcoLeaders of the Brazilian Rainforest

Dear friends,

Our young ecoleaders are now graduating as the end of the year approaches and they had one final task that was SUPER important and that they were REALLY excited about: planting trees!

Since our coordinators told them, at the beginning of the program that they would go deep in nature, some of them were a little bit suspicious about this activity that we prepared for them, so it wasn’t a big surprise that our kids would be willing to plant a million trees themselves!

Our friend Alfredo, coordinator of the Forests4Water Program prepared the planting hole for the kids and they got their hands full of dirt, some of them, for the first time ever!

And what a beautiful thing it was to experience it all!

We want to keep doing more and better: we are dreaming higher and going further since we plan on training and educating 1000 kids and expanding our educational program! And we continue to count on you to make it happen!

And this is how we bring it to a perfect end (for now!). And this is how we wish you a happy holiday and send you all our love from afar!

Warmest holiday greetings,

The Iracambi team.

Dear [donor first name],

It’s almost holiday season and we are here to THANK YOU for your help during this year.

If you’re overwhelmed by how fast this year has gone by, as you realize that the winter holidays are just around the corner, you can alleviate your heart by thinking that 2022 was a year of bliss, joy, and a lot of work!

This year, we introduced hundreds of kids to their first taste of rainforest science because we were able to retake our face-to-face projects, as well as continue our online training. And as the Young Ecoleaders is a project that is very dear to our hearts, was retaken as well and we’re now in the last leadership classes and our 48 young eco leaders will graduate within a few weeks! 

In our last report, we let you know that Giving Tuesday was coming, on November 29, and during that day we were able to raise some funds that will be used for the continuity of our projects next year!

And we are dreaming higher and going further: we plan on training and educating 1000 kids and expanding our educational program! And we continue to count on you to make it happen!

But for now, in this loveliest of seasons may you find all the gifts that you gave us thought the years: the gift of love; the gift of peace; the gift of happiness.

May all these be yours at Christmas and onto the New Year!

Cheers to warm holiday memories! 

The Iracambi Team.
