The experience was incredible! we learned a lot about composting, mosaic making, recycling, construction with eco-bricks… Juan has a lot to teach the world We shared beautiful moments with his children, all very kind and loving, we felt at home. 🫂🩷 Additionally, he took us to know the different beaches of Serra Grande and the city, we even had surfing lessons. We really recommend it, we are very grateful, it was an enriching experience 💘

The days at Juan's house were incredible! The learnings about what we know as 'garbage', compost, mosaic art and many other varied topics were very enriching; there's no doubt I am not the same after this experience, now I am much more conscious! Thank you, Juan, for sharing your knowledge with us, your home with the children and your beautiful city because yes! in addition to learning, we greatly enjoyed the beautiful places Serra Grande offers. I feel super grateful and fortunate; it has been an experience I will carry forever in my heart

Spending these days with Juan was an enormous joy, we had family moments that deeply marked us.
Volunteering at the project was exactly what we had envisioned when we began our journey as volunteers across Brazil.
It involved a lot of our commitment to give ourselves body and soul to the work and purpose that Juan carries with the composting and education about waste destination.
He has two children who are kind and intelligent, with a contagious energy.
Juan is extremely empathetic and generous; he cared for us as if we were his children.
You will always be in our memory 💚

I am very grateful to Juan and his family for the time I spent at his place. Juan is a very good person and he created a responsible space with almost zero waste that I found super inspiring. I learned a lot about composting and eco-brick.

Your house is very pleasant, fully open and in the countryside with many beautiful birds. Blessings to him for his future projects, I hope everything will happen and work out. Gratitude ☀️
