Since Jussier was there on the day mentioned by Thales, I decided to add the following comments, which explain better what happened.
I begin by affirming that everything was a great disappointment for me and it led us to close volunteer work for two years.
I have now decided to resume receiving volunteers at Espaço Viverde and, with the masters' authorization, to explain what happened, after all, who else lost with the problem? For me it was the people who could have come here during all this time.
At first I need to confirm that I did indeed discuss with a young woman we had kindly welcomed. She didn't come through the site. She called me from an unknown place and asked to be a volunteer.
Unfortunately it was a person without limits who brought a dog without informing me. We love animals at Viverde and we have everything from chickens to cats, including dogs and more. The blessed little dog slept with her in bed in an absolutely inappropriate way.
On the fateful day of the discussion, which wasn't even about work, but about the way of life that we propose in our space, I was talking with the four interns present: her, Thales, Igor and Jessier, the last three of worldpackers about how we consider we should treat plants, that is, as living beings that are and deserve our affection and attention.
Thinking differently, the girl didn't let me prosper in my speech, interrupting me and proposing her way of thinking, although I repeatedly asked her not to interrupt me.
That's how, at a certain moment I told her to be quiet, which started a harsher discussion that ended when I asked her to leave our Space.
The next day Thales left early and hurried to judge and condemn, drafting what today appears on the site.
But in fact, everything was in accordance with the higher determination. The discussion was only a preparation for the most important.
Calmer, I, Marta and the girl (unfortunately I don't even remember her name) had a constructive conversation. After crying a lot she told us that everything was exactly as it happened between her and her father when she left home, including the result, for he also asked her to leave his house.
As a result of the conversation she decided to return to her father's house and do the same as we did, i.e., to have a calm conversation with her father. Even the return trip was paid for by us.
These were the facts.
Espaço Viverde is a place of healing and, sometimes, pain is needed for this.
However, my disappointment was greater with Thales and Igor, who, without understanding and witnessing what happened, which in fact was growth for all of us, built these destructive comments that only hinder the wonderful work we have been doing here.
During ten years of operation in Brumadinho we are partners of Inhotim, we take care of stingless bees, maintain an ecovillage, an organic garden, work in training family farmers, empower young people and children.
Every volunteer who comes learns a lot, helps a lot, grows.
May many more come.
