Tatu gets a new home
This is what our farm is all about! Watch carefully, he moves fast when that bag opens!
#Armadillo ( #Tatu ) – brought to us from a neighbouring farmer, and now living free on our farm in Passa Quatro MG – “Green School Brazil”.
We have invited all in Passa Quatro, to bring any unwanted wild animal here to enjoy the safety of the sanctuary.
Experiential Conversational English
FREE (for P4) – “CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH” OPPORTUNITY
Starts Wednesday 9th October 2024
INTRODUCTION
If you ALREADY speak SOME English, but you lack confidence and want to IMPROVE your ability to converse and comprehend maybe CONVERSATIONAL EXPERIENTIAL ENGLISH will be good for you?
As a person who has been involved in teaching sales skills my entire career, I know that too much time can be spent on things that don’t really matter, instead of focusing on the objective. In this case speaking English to be understood!
When you are trying to improve a skill it is best to practice, but in Passa Quatro who can you practice with? I invite you to benefit from the power of context! Experiential learning; because when you experience the relationship in situations you remember very well – that is how our brains work.
A comfortable non judgmental space for natural conversation without a classroom with a singular objective of being understood!

Our first meeting will be Wednesday 9th of October 2024 from 6pm to 7pm
Here are the requirements:
Most importantly this is an opportunity for those who already have an ability to speak English but want to improve!

Spring 2024 Update
Finally after 15 years of buying, investing, ‘prepping’ and planning a vision we now share, based on Fazenda São Françisco de Assis here in Passa Quatro, Green School Brazil is really starting to gain it’s momentum due to the 2019 to 2024 stay in Ireland, the distance and restricted travel.
“Let the environment lead” – a shared vision for a future.
As a determined couple, we can now see the ‘Spring shoots’ appearing in the projects we plan, both non profit and commercial. Indeed we can now even taste what we believed in and what we saw in the pictures we created – many in our minds.
In less than three months since we arrived at the end of June with the three dogs, we have been in a breathtaking whirlwind of activity, and not only on the farm! Our desire to have children by way of adoption here in Brazil is now a new central focus to our lives that is progressing very well and has quite correctly taken central stage in all our planning.
In the words of so many well wishing friends and family, YES “we HAVE got this”… and yes “Green School Brazil” (with many refinements to our original plans), is on course!

2024 We Move To Brazil
It has been many years of delay and ‘treading water’, but now we have actual dates and tickets for our move to Brazil. Soon we will restart various projects that have all had to be delayed due to our move from South Africa to Ireland in 2019.
I the last five years we have been living in Athlone, Ireland. It has been necessary and very productive for us, but not for the Green School project of course. Romeu has put enormous effort into his work and his education as an architect and this year he also became an Irish citizen.
We will now be leaving our home in Ireland to go to Brazil on the 24th June with our three Golden Retrievers. It will be quite an adventure as we will travel by road and ferry through France to fly from Paris due to this being much easier for the dogs.
I have never mentioned this before on our website, but we are going to be adopting a daughter in Brazil. You can imagine how excited we are about this. It is challenging to give focus to anything else but the numerous projects that have been on pause are now about to go into high gear. We will move to the farm and immediately start re-engaging with our long list of Green School priorities.
This is just a short update after a long but inevitable ‘radio silence’, and I will now be adding more and far more frequently to the ‘Green School’ blog now that we have momentum again.
Passa Quatro – August 2021
Green School Brazil
Finally, after more than three years due to our move to Ireland from South Africa, and then the Covid crisis and lockdowns, we are now at the earliest opportunity (and both fully vaccinated) able to travel to Brazil and the farm in August 2021 and a very short trip it will be to attend to some very urgent matters.
We will literally be on the farm for less than one week before returning to Ireland!
Andre will return for at least two months at the end of 2021 – probably November and probably with the three dogs!
