Are you interested in learning more about an environmental and educational program in Brazil? Join us for a virtual community garden for children in Serra Grande, Bahia on May 18!
Organized in collaboration with Yale Alumni Service Corps (YASC), join Paulo Barreiro '12 MESc, grassroots activist and founder of Cachoeira, a local socio-environmental company, for a second virtual Yale Day of Service at the community vegetable garden and educational program Little Garden of All Our Dreams. The volunteer program began in 2021 to foster an Active Empathy for Life, through vegetable gardening, play and music. We are the recipient of the First Behner Stiefel Center for Brazilian Studies' grant for Community Projects in Sustainability and Climate Change that gives us funding to cover costs and strengthen community governance for 12 months.
Learn more about the evolution of the project, interact with the volunteer activists, and find out ways to get involved with the community vegetable and the community library, our key partner! In the first half of this Yale Day of Service project we will be learning about soil improvement and planting healthy foods in a rural-urban setting. In the second half the children will be drawing, and we will have a chance to speak with you where you can share your own backyard or community garden story! If you have any questions, please reach out to João.
