Espelho Project  ( Mirror Project ) january 2006

A project with children and horses carried out, for a period of 3 months, in a fishing community in  Barra de Mamanguape, state of Paraiba, Brazil.

Special thanks to Coen Schaad for his support and assistance in financing this project.


The objectives of the Espelho Project harmonize with those of the Golden Circle Programs, were to extend the relational circle of the inhabitants of the community of Barra de Mamanguape ,by means of the awareness and caring for the other.

Sensitized to the abuses we witnessed being committed against animals – which were poorly fed, sick and maltreated, we decided to carry out a project in this community.  A project that would not only save the animals, but, more importantly, introduce a new consciousness to the community. A consciousness governed by respect, responsibility, caring and loving in all relationships.

This work gave birth to a book in which the children create the storie and the facilitators wrote it and it was edit by a brazilian writer Arlete
