It was really wonderful to be able to meet again and be together for a relaxed schedule, with activities for the whole family at the 1st Spring Festival organized by SMF in partnership with Mariápolis Park, in Vargem Grande Paulista - SP, on Saturday 9/25.
The joy of the reunion hung in the air while the activities of:
Material reuse workshop
Storytelling for children
Inflatable toys for kids to enjoy, with professional instructors and proper supervision
Execution of Peace Mandala
The Brechó Solidário (solidarity thrift store) was the ideal opportunity to put into practice the idea of the circular economy, which proposes a change in the entire way of consuming, from product design to our relationship with raw materials and waste. Through Brechó Solidário, it was possible to offer an appropriate space for the display of items donated by so many people, to whom we are immensely grateful!
Both the people who made their donations and those who purchased the items felt happy and fulfilled to participate in this stream of good that aims at fraternal and harmonious coexistence among everyone and with the common house that hosts everyone.
SMF finds its breath by acting in actions like this, as the need to work ever closer together in view of the regeneration of society and sustainability of the planet is undeniable.
We thank all those who collaborated with SMF for the realization of the 1st Spring Festival! A very special thank you to the association of residents of Mariápolis Ginetta for providing inflatable toys for the joy and fun of children and to the managers of the Mariápolis Park for making the space available for the occasion.
All resources from this event will be donated to our social projects and to the maintenance of the SMF's main office.
A huge thank you to everyone!

The thrift store activity within the Spring Festival was a demonstration of how the circular economy, where everything is reused, can make a difference in reducing social inequality. When contemplating the meeting of people from different social classes sharing the same space of communion of goods, I saw that the Current of Good progresses”.

Thanks to the participation of so many, we achieved our goal, not only in terms of the amount collected, but mainly through the synergy and bonds built with everyone".
