    Sobre o programa

    We seek

    nature lovers that are really committed to support and help those who are dedicated to protect wild life and its habitat, fight climate change, bring social justice to rural area and that are willing to make positive changes in their own life that will bring more healing to their body, their mind and the planet. The inequalities and lack of opportunities are much higher in the rural areas in Brazil and that's why so many migrated and continue to migrate to the slums/favelas of big cities and subject themselves to the oppression of violence, drug lords, militia and police.


    We expect 
    • 18 hours of weekly dedication to agroforestry, wild life and  stingless native beekeeping. The schedule can be flexible to accommodate personal needs (home-office).
    • Keep bedroom and personal bathroom clean and return it clean before you leave.
    • Participate in the cleaning of the shared areas of the house (kitchen)
    • Participate in the food preparation for lunch and meal.
    • After use, leave kitchen sink and table clean for the next person to use it.
    • Commit to a healthy, minimally-processed plant based diet, bring awareness to the fact that the food that heals you also heals the planet. We avoid GMO, food from conventional monocultures that destroy the soil, kill bees, contaminates creeks and rivers and dry spring waters and brings poison to people's table. Plant (and fungi)  based diet has proved to be the healthiest diet for you and the planet, that also help fixating carbon back to the soil. 
    • Do  not smoke. I don't drink alcoholics and I expect little or no consumption of alcohol in my place. Same to any other recreational drug. Our recreation is to be present with full awareness  facing the immense beauty that wild life and natural cascades provides. 
    You will learn
    • Agroforestry, permaculture concepts, native beekeeping practices, 
    • Adaptations for climate change, including tropical edible plants; food, clothing and other actions for mitigating climate change,
    • How to boost your energy with anti-oxidant rich, cancer killer plant based diet.
    Your volunteering will
    • bring dignity to rural workers, fight social inequality and bring opportunities to rural areas, stopping the immigration flux of people flooding the favelas/slums of big cities. 
    •  help compensating the invaluable services that we provide to society (clean, cool and moisture the air, sequester carbon from the air, generate rain and water, protect biodiversity, protect crop pollinators)
    And you will experience
    • amazing rivers and waterfalls
    • mountain trails
    • healthy and delicious food
    • exercising outdoors, campfires
    • brething pure air and drinking and bathing on  mineral spring waters
