Our first excursion has all to do with CISV’s theme this year, Sustainable Development. We went to Ubatuba, a city in the north of São Paulo’s state shoreline. There, we went to Projeto Tamar, and NGO which looks after the species of turtles who are endangered of extinction. There, they provide those animals with a safe place to heal, reproduce and grow, until they are able to go back to nature.
We took part in a tour that told us all about the turtles there, their names, natural habitats, habits and problems. After that, we could all watch videos about the turtles and the challenges faced by Projeto Tamar, such as illegal traffic and turtle pets being kept in bad conditions. A fun parto f the tour was the feeding! In the hot weather, the turtles got “fish ice cream” – pieces of fish and squid frozen inside a bucked of water.
Then, our excursion continued to… the beach! We all got off the bus and enjoyed the sun and the sand for a while. We could play, run and have a great time.
After getting back home, we had a surprise right before lullabies… The creature who stole the BOX sent us an e-mail!! It said that if we wanted the BOX back, we would have to work hard… But of course we will! We are, from now on, a big and united group, looking together for the secret to make the world better! Go BOX Village!!!
