Hello hello dear friends!
It is with great joy that we share with you the beginning of our Environmental Education Project, Young Ecoleaders! As you already know the course longs to teach the kids more about environmental issues of today, make them think in a critical manner, forgetting previous bias that they might have, seeking to make them have a greater contact with nature.
The course is aimed at children, young people and adolescents from the region around Iracambi and three schools in this region were selected to benefit these students, who will undergo this training for 5 months, until the end of this year.
As we said before, we had more than 70 letters to choose from and it was so difficult to chose a restricted number of students and we already presented you to some of them!
Topics such as soil, water, fauna, flora, culture and biodiversity will be addressed and brought to the reality of the region/community.
We had our first meeting with the three groups and you can take a look at the picture!
And this couldn’t be done without YOU!
So thank you for supporting us and helping spread the mission and love for the environment!
With lots of love from the rainforest - both by the kids and the Education team!
