I would like to inform you the WFMD event at the Sao Francisco River’s Aquarium was a big success. We received more than thousand visitors between May 22-25 that got information and activities from the event. Follows in attachment some photos.
Thank you by your support and congratulations for your good work.

We would like to let you know how much this event meant to us and all the children who visited CEPTA.
There is a new post on our website, if you could please post it on WFMD facebook page: http://www.icmbio.gov.br/cepta/destaques/52-visita-de-estudantes-do-ensino-fundamental-supera-as-expectativas-do-cepta.html
The event exceeded our expectations as we are still being contacted by local schools to schedule new visits. We counted 700 students that came to CEPTA from Monday to Saturday and there are more to come!
May 24th was a special day for us. We received children from the local community and they spent the day with us. We had lunch together and after the programed activities the children had a soccer match.
We would like to thank all of you and also our co-workers and volunteers, who helped us deliver a really great week.
