Dear Eco Caminhos community,
February was a month full of activity, learning, and meaningful exchanges on the farm. Between activities with volunteers, new learnings, farewells, and new arrivals, we continued strengthening our work and community life. In this newsletter, we share some of the moments and updates that marked this period here.
Special Opportunity:
Open Positions for Free Volunteering
We have new open positions for free volunteer work opportunities in two main sectors of the farm: Bioconstruction and Agroforestry. This is a unique chance for those who want hands-on learning, take real responsibilities, and become part of our environmental regeneration work.
These positions are ideal for people who look for purpose,daily practice and professional and personal development. If you want to live a period of transformation and help strengthen regeneration initiatives, this is your chance!
Workshop on Medicinal Plants and Unconventional Food Plants (UFPs)
In February, the volunteers took part in a workshop on Unconventional Food Plants (UFPs) and medicinal plants. It was a day of direct exchange and hands-on learning.
Ana, Hellen, and Leo introduced the main UFPs in Brazil, organized a playful activity where participants matched medicinal plants to the symptoms they treat, and also guided the volunteers, who came from eight different countries, to identify and taste medicinal plants and UFPs in the farm’s garden.
The participants learned how to prepare teas and natural products using these plants and received an e-book on medicinal plants written by the volunteer Hellen herself.
It was an interactive and fruitful workshop for everyone!
Amadeus’s Farewell
In February, Amadeus said “Goodbye” to our farm.
After participating and collaborating with our Eco Caminhos team for three years, he completed his cycle of learning and development with us. He arrived with little experience and quite shy, but gradually gained confidence and maturity here on the farm. He made many friends and grew through his experience at Eco Caminhos.
Junior’s Arrival
Later this month, we welcomed Junior, who will join our long-term volunteer team, working in the agroforestry area.
With great enthusiasm and motivation, he is a young man from the state of Goiás seeking a deeper connection with nature and the development of skills in agroforestry.
Welcome, Júnior!
We wrapped up February feeling really grateful and energized.
It was a month full of changes and movement, with people coming and going, bringing new visitors and volunteers who helped renew the energy and strengthen the spirit of the farm.
May March bring more progress and new achievements, and may we continue, together, turning our actions into positive impacts for the world and for people, strengthening more sustainable and conscious paths
