The Agricultural Family School (AFS) in Irará works with various types of training, in the school itself as well as in the community. We offer training courses in the form of a field day: an activity conducted in a rural setting with the participation of the students’ parents and people from the community.
Nature can supply all people’s needs, except their greed.
Hi! I am a girl from the town of Alto Alegre in the State of Maranhão. I am studying in the Sucupira do NorteAgricultural Family School. I am sixteen years of age.
My name is Carlos and I am a second year student in the Agricultural Family School of secondary education in the city of Sucupira do Norte which is 430 kilometres from the town in which I live.
I want to talk here about the terrible secondary school education in my town of Lagoa Grande/MA.
Look, I am a farmer’s son and I live in Macapá, the capital of the State of Amapá.
I travel a lot and it is always to the interior of the State, so as to visit my mother who is living in a community of settlers.
Recently, it has become more and more difficult to make these journeys, because the roads that lead to the community areas are not paved.
Being a communicator in a family agriculture assistance co-operative is to see, hear and feel the changes taking place in rural life in the semiarid region. Many of the transformations were only possible because people struggled for and attained them. People like the family of Júlia and Valdemar from the Pau Ferro Community, in Jacobina/BA, where I got to know them.
