More Terra Mirim News

Last Saturday was there a Mutirão, so teamwork, special type of ecological school called for a strike and Aufraeumaktion. Also present were some teachers, parents and voluntary workers from the area. Despite some difficulties such as lack of paint brushes and buckets, it was beinhae los.Es on time at 9:00, the clock Klassenraueme, and the toys on the playground such as slides, swings etc. painted, so the bright colors that were already very faded, sind.Desweiteren again made the play equipment were repaired. Around 12:30 clock there was a fortifying lunch for the hard work, which consisted of noodles, rice, vegetables and soy. After lunch, still working a few hours and at the end of the day was still cleaned everything. Thus, the ecological school shines in new splendor and is ready to welcome back their students soon:)

So what else is there in news:
The "Barriga cheia" - "Full Belly" is a new program in Terra Mirim. The aim is to ensure adequate nutrition of vulnerable populations in the region. Mainly children, young people and older people should be addressed like this. Encouraged and supported this project from the State body Ceasa-BA.
are taking part in 100 families from the region who came in November in the Fundação are to perform the necessary forms. In the forms , in addition to name, etc., also the number of children, monthly income obtained. With these data it was possible to the needy families in the project included.
And now it's finally over. On Thursday came a huge truck with food at Terra Mirim and once rammed a wall at the entrance, which then collapsed. Through this little accident occurred, all the current (and thus the water pump) off, so we had to make do in the dark. The food there were beans, farina and milk powder. Each family receives beans 6kg, 9kg Farinha and 8 kg of milk powder per month. In return, the families once a month to make a kind of voluntary work in Terra Mirim.
Friday were using liaise with the individual Comunidades, the foods that were packaged in large bags weighed and packed in separate bags. After about an hour of hard work 100 sacks were ready, waiting only for their future owners.
The project is based on that it is required that the families grow fruits, vegetables or other foods for them by the supermarket price bought and thus they can get this support. Another advantage is that they take their diet by growing their own hands and so productive, "earn" their food is able. The "full stomach" runs only once a year and then be the result of conclusions drawn, whether it makes sense to let the project continue.
Today came the families of the Fundação where they completed the first time their voluntary service and after a short introduction then received the food.

Christmas in Terra Mirim

The first Christmas outside of the usual familial atmosphere, it should run for us two German volunteers of course somewhat different than usual Who can claim that as a German in a celebrated Brazilian shamanic community to Christmas? That's a special privilege, we also referred to the Blogglesern would like to open!

As would be naturally once the season. On the southern half of the world just round one of the summer, 35 degrees during the day and night and rarely exceeded one could confidently with only a fig leaf to remain covered, without freezing. Of course but not at Christmas. But it is strange when one reads of Schneeeinbruechen and ice in faraway Germany and Christmas but even in the midst of hungry, sweaty, mosquito-celebrating. Also with the Christmas tree is a funny story. In Bahia, unfortunately, do not grow coniferous. Since we had the glorious idea of developing a plastic-iron structure which is capable of companies had at least by far the untrained eye Christmas. In Casa the Arts has now been at this a little different atmosphere, the Terra Mirim - celebrated Christmas.

Shamanic mantra should satisfy the first two hours with their recurring sounds. Chants to the air, the mistress of the forest or the "great mother" earth could bring the Christmas spirit going. Then was allowed to divide the community into three groups to a Christmas scavenger hunt to do with Terra Mirim. The winning group received a Zauberwurfel. Interactive we went through the program. An episode from a Japanese cartoon series was thrown to the wall via projector, the content is obviously profound, what we Germans - the Portuguese language skills are not yet definitively determined mature - but not so much made sense. Does not matter though, because after that it should go on fun: a round candles dance in the dark, the passionate, involved individuals and groups and carried out with the utmost choreographic sensibility. Joseh was particularly emphasized here, stormed into the manner of the Tasmanian devil (from the "Looney Tunes"), the Packett. And to a large degree of the party were of course not without a small theater addition of each participant. For in the run-up to Christmas Day each was an "amigo Segredo" (= friend secret) assigned, which should get a gift from his desires. This amigo Segredo was then followed by those theatrical performance Gift bestowed the award, which was not infrequently about his character traits or funny incidents in the past funny. A warehouse fire, wonderful food and juices bestowed all a beautiful, happy after-show party.

Although the usual Christmas slush in front of the door, and a Christmas tree with needles and the family ties, something for us volunteers was missing, so it was a Christmas of a different variety, which has given us all the fun!
