    These people have opened themselves to receive me and gave me much more than I would ever be able to give them back and it would be impossible to write about this place without mentioning the biggest hope they have for a better future: the children. Thus, the place that I am writing about is not only these small and poor villages in the south of Brazil, but the beauty that is hidden inside those islands. A place where I could fulfill myself with hope, even catching a glimpse of a childhood filled with nothing but disadvantage and uncertainty.: by patchi, Views[212]
         		 Through this series of photos, I tried to show the other side from being obvious and see the beauty and goodness of a community that lives under very poor conditions. I went out of my comfort zone willing to help, to know and understand their traditions a bit more and bring some happiness to their lives, but it finally dawned on me that it was my own life I was seeking to understand. This man in the photo, named Renato, is a real warrior. He is native from one of the villages and, perhaps, the most intelligent person I've ever met, breaking down all the cultural and economic's barriers and using his knowledge to help his people.: by patchi, Views[223]
         		 Considered one of the most biodiverse places in Brazil with an extensive Atlantic Forest range and several islands, Guaraqueçaba is situated in a region of rare beauty in the south coast of the country. Their forest reserves and almost intact ecosystems, are part of a very well preserved environment appreciated by fans of eco-tourism, but this wasn't exactly my assignment around there. This place I've chosen also hides some of the most amazing villages I have ever visited and had the honor of helping.: by patchi, Views[205]

         		 To preserve the environment and provide sustainable tourism, most restaurants in Ribeirão da Ilha cultivate their own oysters in floating units next to the shore – and some of them even get exported to all over the world.
