Environmental Education














Hi Everyone!!

This week I am going to talk about the School activity, namely Recycling. So, this wenesday we receive the students of Corvo between ages of 6 to 16 years old. For the oldest ones we purpose a debate about what we produce?and what we should to do to transform these products? For the youngest ones we decided to recycle some old paper and ask to our "little people" to use that paper to draw Mr.Cookie from Shrek the animated movie. Besides this was my first experience with the kids, I think that the activity run well and allow the children to learn more about recycling.

One more...


Hi Everyone!!

I am the most recent resident of Corvo, the most isolated island of Europe. Besides the isolation the time goes faster than you should think, mostly because there are a lot of things to do. The true is that this island became my house and I really feel like it.

The work could not be better, basically I spent my time climbing the mountains, jumping walls, running from cows...this happened me the other day when me and my colleague Alazne were collecting wax-box in Fonte Velha, and some cow decided to attack us and the only thing that Alazne could say was " Don’t come around here….Don’t come around here.”.., to enjoy the fresh air and all of this with the Atlantic Ocean view.

By the way, I am going to stay in Corvo until December 2010 when my Cory`s Sherwater’s friends come to Corvo, but until that happens, I am going to look after the rodents, cats and Festuca plantations, some of the activities of the LIFE Project "Safe Island for Seabirds".

Thanks to all, since my colleagues Sandra, Carlos, Alazne and Sílvia, who patiently try to teach me something and to all people from Corvo, for being so nice to me.
