We support 4 educational projects in the Amazon area of Brasil, as well as Jhenifer’s Library in the Chapada and we have begun to work together with the ParaTi organisation in the largest favela in Rio de Janeiro.

We have rebuilt the school at Parque dos Tribos near Manaus, now with a new toilet block and solar panels for them. We support 2 other educational & cultural projects in the Amazon where we built new Maloca’s (large communal tribal buildings). These educational projects are teaching the children about their own culture’s medicinal uses of the local plants and many different aspects of their own artistic and musical culture as well as the normal educational curriculum.

Mata Viva Educational Resource Centre, Amazon, Brazil

We are also proud to support the Mata Viva educational eco resource project in the Amazon where parties of school children go to learn about keeping the local rivers alive and flowing. The project has conserved the Agua Branca tributary to the River Amazon as the last living river in the area so this project is really important.

Jhenifer’s Library and educational support project continues to go well in the Chapada district. There was a special fun day held there for International Children’s Day and Jhenifer herself has begun her own further education towards her ambition to become a lawyer. She has been given an award by the governor for her public work and been invited to a junior internship at the city’s court, which is a big honour. A lovely teacher is Jhenifer’s assistant at the library in her absence, and Jhenifer’s mother continues to cook and feed all the children.

Our long-time heart ambassador, Ivan, is in the process of setting up a new children’s project in the Chapada where he will teach the local school children how to grow food in the permaculture system, in which he is an experienced expert. Helping to establish food security for the children’s futures is one of our priorities globally.

In the Amazon area of Brazil, the indigenous children at the tribal school we support are being decimated by Covid-19 and are also unable to access food and medication and basic supplies. We are working together with Fundacao do Amazonas Sustenetivel and our local team led by dear Luiz and Ana Carolina to get the much needed supplies delivered in to them. They are very grateful for all your kind support that makes this possible. Thank you all.
