Seeds of change: two girls' green mission

By Juliana Mendes | Comunication Coordinator

Dear Donors,

In the heart of a small town in Minas Gerais, Brazil, two young girls, moved by a shared passion for the environment, decided to turn concern into action. Witnessing the environmental challenges their community faced - from land degradation to biodiversity loss - they chose not to stand idly by.

Inspired by the urgent need for environmental preservation and equipped with knowledge gained from our environmental education workshops funded by your valuable contributions, these young environmental entrepreneurs initiated a movement for change. They started small, with the planting of native trees around their community, but their actions quickly gained momentum and support.

Organizing volunteer groups, promoting awareness campaigns, and working in collaboration with local administration, these girls demonstrated what is possible when youth are empowered to lead environmental change. Their initiative not only revitalized degraded areas but also instilled a renewed sense of responsibility and care for nature among community members.

This story is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together for the greater good. The journey of these two young individuals is a shining example of the impact that each person, supported by a community of compassionate donors like you, can have on conserving our planet. Your generosity can create in communities around the globe.

Thanks to your ongoing support, we can empower more young people like them, fostering a new generation of environmental leaders who are ready to tackle the challenges of our time. Your donations not only help fund restoration and environmental education projects but also inspire hope and action in communities across the globe.

We wish to express our deepest gratitude for your generosity and vision. Together, we are not just planting trees but sowing the foundations for a greener, more sustainable future.

With heartfelt thanks,

The Iracambi Team

The Young Ecoleaders at a Conference? Whaaat?! Take a look!

By Juliana Mendes | Comunication Coordinator

Dayana presenting the project

Dear friends!

Today may not be Throwback Thursday (TBT), but we would like to reminisce about something incredible that happened last year. Our coordinator, Dayana, had the opportunity to present a scientific paper she authored about the Young Eco-Leaders Program at a renowned conference.

This presentation not only highlighted the positive impact of the program but also underscored its relevance and importance in promoting environmental awareness among youth.

The presentation of the scientific paper by our coordinator provided an excellent opportunity to raise visibility for the Young Eco-Leaders Program to another stage: outside the state of Minas Gerais, to people all over Brazil...

By sharing our methods, results, and experiences, we were able to inspire other similar programs and initiatives around the country. Additionally, participation in scientific conferences helps validate and accredit our work within the academic community and society at large!

It's important to note that the visibility of the Young Ecoleaders Program not only strengthens our credibility but also increases opportunities for collaboration and funding for future projects and initiatives. By demonstrating the successes and tangible impacts of the program, we are able to attract more supporters and partners, thus expanding our reach and impact in shaping the next generation of environmental leaders.

We invite all of you to engage with us and support our kids! Whether it's by sharing our achievements with your network, volunteering to mentor participating youth, or contributing financially to our programs and activities, every action counts and makes a difference in building a more sustainable and conscientious future!

We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support and commitment to shaping a new generation of environmental leaders.

Warm regards,

The Iracambi Team

Growing Together towards Greener Horizons: Educational Outreach for All Ages

By Juliana Mendes | Comunication Coordinator

Our friends on the nursery learning about plants

Dear education-enthusiats,

We hope this letter finds you well and that you've had a great start to the year. First and foremost, we want to apologize for our silence at the beginning of this year. With the return of the school year, we are excited to share all the news and achievements of our environmental education project with you.

Now that the school year has begun, we have several stories and progress to share. Even during the January school holidays (where all the kids are in vacation during more than a month here in Brazil), our dedication to environmental education did not wane. As you may be aware, environmental education can occur not only through children but also with adults and older individuals. It's amazing to see people of all ages getting involved and committing to the environmental cause!

Recently, we had the visit of a partnering company that generously supported us financially last year. Their employees came to see firsthand our reforestation efforts within the region, and it was a true honor and pleasure to welcome them to our headquarters. It was a fantastic opportunity to show them the positive impact of their support and how their donations are making a real difference in the environment and the local community.

As we continue our work, we invite you, our amazing donors, to get even more involved. Whether it's spreading the word about our cause to friends and family, sharing our posts on social media, or considering additional financial contributions, every little gesture makes a big difference. Together, we can continue to raise awareness and preserve the environment.

We deeply appreciate your ongoing support and commitment to our mission. Together, we are building a greener and more sustainable future for all.

With gratitude,

The Iracambi Team
