Students from the São João Batista Youth Center plant fruit trees

On May 8, 2025, the students of the São João Batista Youth Center, a social work located in the city of Poxoréu/MT (Brazil), planted three cashew seedlings, a fruit tree native to Brazil. Each class was given a seedling to plant, as a way of giving a gift to the Earth and at the same time benefiting us with its fruit and shade. The activity sought to emphasize that we must have a reciprocal relationship with our environment, because taking care of fauna and flora means more quality life for people. The activity will continue throughout the year, as the students must ensure that future trees grow, watering and fertilizing when necessary.  The act was in line with the request of the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB), which set the theme of Fraternity and Integral Ecology for reflection during the Lenten period. Seeing the students committed to taking care of the environment reaffirms the hope that the new generations will be able to take care of our Common Home
