Ministry Update: Semear (Brazil)

After hosting a large activity with volunteers at CTA 18, Semear has been receiving frequent visits from people interested in helping with the gardens and participating in their activities. It is also summer break for the children, and the garden has become an important leisure space for them.

Their local church has been hosting more regular capoeira (Brazilian martial art) classes at their facility, which adds to the activities of the garden club and helps strengthen relationships between both groups, providing diverse exchanges and testimonies.

The core garden remains beautiful and productive. While the local team was on vacation, Semear’s leadership increased their visits to take care of the space and welcome the children, with everything prepared for their visits and surprises ready to be harvested.

Brazil is in the middle of summer school break, and their garden has never been so full of children who, in addition to taking care of and harvesting the vegetables, also play house and make food between the beds. Having a space like this to play is a privilege for the children of Jd. Panorama can enjoy.
