The experience in the the project has been amazing. We have been able to enjoy the passion of Robert and Dace leading the Agrofloresta project and the garden as well as the community with the other volunteers. If you want to connect with nature and with people who live in harmony their mission and values, the project is your project. At the end of each working day you will have a smile of satisfaction in your face and an open heart.

O projeto plantou uma sementinha na minha cabeça, lugar que sem querer me deu um rumo no quesito da faculdade, a gnt aprende de tudo lá, é uma escola da vida, a gnt começa a ter mais empatia com as plantas, não vê elas somente como “mato”. pra quem está com medo de aplicar ou desiste por conta do valor, te digo que vale cada centavo!!!! não tenha medo de gastar com refeições frescas e orgânicas feita pelo barreto, ainda conhecimento que o victor compartilha contigo, didática única!! o lugar também, sem comparação! não tenha medo, tenho certeza q vc vai ter uma baita de uma experiência🤍

Foi simplesmente incrível, eu amei tudo absurdamente. Comida, trilhas, tratamento, pessoas, achei uma família em Nova Friburgo e não vejo a hora de voltar. Aprendi muito sobre a vida, sobre a floresta, sobre a agrofloresta e sobre a natureza.

Esta experiência vai fazer parte da minha vida e da minhas histórias para sempre. Tive a oportunidade de conviver com uma família maravilhosa de pessoas muito trabalhadoras . O Robert e a Dace transmitem o amor que têm pelos projetos de agrofloresta e desenvolvimento sustentável, eles realmente dedicam tempo para nos ensinar a importância de cada processo e rotina necessários para o desenvolvimento das agroflorestas. A cada momento muito aprendizado. Nestas duas semanas que fiquei convivi com voluntários estrangeiros e pude aprimorar meus conhecimentos na língua inglesa. Gratidão.
