The Experience

Estamos nos primeiros passos, no Sítio Agroecológico Caminho da Paz, RJ. Valorizamos a existência humana, o potencial criativo, a arte natural, o minimalismo, o reaproveitamento de alimentos e objetos, a reciclagem e a autossustentabilidade. Caminhamos rumo à criação de uma agrovila. Ambiente simples, com piscina de nascente, redes, afeto, acolhimento e vida em paz.

I spent two weeks at Project the community and it was an amazing experience. From the first day on, it felt like being part of a family. The atmosphere was welcoming, supportive, and full of positive energy. I learned a lot, felt appreciated, and would recommend this project to anyone looking for a meaningful exchange.

Você é muito jovem, mas carrega uma sabedoria incrível.
É fácil de lidar, proativo e atento: tudo o que se pede, você az com presença e cuidado.
Com as próprias mãos, montou e costurou um estofado lindíssimo, revelando sensibilidade, capricho e dedicação.
Sempre disposto, ajudou outros voluntários em suas tarefas, demonstrando espírito coletivo e generosidade.
É curioso, aprende rápido e tem brilho nos olhos de quem realmente quer crescer.
Amei ter esse você no projeto.
Que volte em breve

This is a good learning experience in agroecological farming, especially for people who may be beginning their journey of understanding in the principles of permaculture and agroforestry. Erica welcomed us with a very open and caring energy, is very intentional in treating everyone with respect, with clear communication, and has genuine care for the wellbeing and happiness of volunteers and people in general. It was really wonderful to learn about the important community work she does with the movement of small farmers and be a part of it a few times during our stay! Many beautiful memories :)

Minha experiência no the community Minha passagem pelo the community foi transformadora. Aprendi muito, me conectei de verdade com a natureza e vivi dias intensos de aprendizado e troca. Conheci pessoas incríveis, que levarei comigo pra sempre, e cada momento lá me fez repensar meu jeito de viver e enxergar o mundo. Com certeza foi uma das experiências mais especiais que já tive — e espero, de coração, poder voltar um dia. 💚🌿

Fue mi primer voluntariado y no podría haber tenido una experiencia más linda. Erika, la host, fue la persona más amorosa que conocí, con un corazón gigante y lleno de amor para dar. Todos los días te traía comida calentita desayuno, almuerzo y cena.y siempre está con una sonrisa en la cara y una energía hermosa que contagia a todos. Además, nunca nos hizo hacer cosas que no nos gustaran; al contrario, se aseguraba de que cada uno disfrutara lo que hacía. Gracias a eso, la estancia ahí se sintió como estar en casa y se disfrutó al máximo.gracias por todo!!! Espero volver pronto 🫶🏾

💕Leon é uma pessoa sensível à natureza e ao bem. Proativo, agradável e sempre disposto, executou todas as tarefas com excelência.
É o tipo de ser humano que não precisa de supervisão, pois sabe o que faz — e faz muito bem.

Agradeço profundamente pela presença e contribuição dele aqui. Leon já faz parte da família do projeto.
Tem saúde, disposição e uma relação simples e equilibrada com a alimentação.
Um menino que carrega a paz no olhar e nas atitudes. 🌿💕
Traga a sua irmã ❤️
