Project Report | Jun 14, 2018
Mother's Day

By Maria Julia Barbosa | Institutional Development Intern

Activity with mothers and children

In celebration of Mother’s Day, the residents of Quilombola São Pedro organized a special activity at the school. The students brought their mothers to the school and gave them projects based on their reading in the Vaga Lume library, explored the book collection together, and them read to each other.  The celebration was about more than just reading, it was also about family bond.

The Quilombola São Pedro is very engaged in the Vaga Lume Project, as with it’s own cultural identity. That is important, because quilombola communities are the descendants of slaves who escaped Brazil's plantations and fled deep into the Amazon rainforest for security and protection. São Pedro community also sent a representative to the Quilombola meeting in 2016. They usually organize regular story-telling sessions, have made their own artisanal books, and undertaking a range of other activities to preserve their culture and environment.

The Quilombola São Pedro Mother’s Day Celebration showed us once again that Vaga Lume has an important part to play in strengthening community ties.
