Helem Miranda, a core team member of the Favela da Paz in Sao Paolo created the Vegearte project – an educational kitchen and courses for vegetarian cooking in the Favela. In an environment in which most people are used to consuming meat on a daily basis, we see Helem’s project as a contribution towards the complicity-free nutrition of the Favela community. We decided to support this educational project to further the capacity of the Favela da Paz to include core ethics of Healing Biotopes in their work. Up to now, Helem’s courses have trained 1000 people in the art of cooking a 100% vegetarian diet.
