“When we started Novo Ciclo program, I was afraid with all the things that would be done. Today, I feel very happy to be part of the program. I am also very happy to spread the word on what we do to the other cooperatives, as it truly makes a difference. We have gained respect thanks to our serious work, and now we reached great achievements. Today, we are received in banks and industries. This is gratifying for me and for the pickers in general. I tell them that we cannot give up, we have to believe that everything we are doing is for the good of nature, the environment in which we live.”
