PFV GENTE ME AJUDEEEEEMMM!!!!
The Amor-Peixe Association was set up in 2003, in Corumbá, a Brazilian city on the banks of the Paraguay River, which forms the frontier between Brazil and Paraguay. With a lot of hard work and creativity, the women make use of fish skins that were formerly thrown away and turn them into beautiful handicraft objects such as belts, bags, wallets, diaries, clothing, bracelets and costume jewellery. The project not only brings in an income for the women but it enhances their self esteem and is an excellent example of making good use of waste materials. Since 2003 WWF-Brazil has been supporting the association by providing environmental education and fostering social insertion. In 2007, the NGO ran a series of capacity building workshops designed to enable the group to re-organise its structure. That work was coordinated by biologist Terezinha Martins of WWF-Brazil’s Pantanal Programme and professor Josenildo Souza e Silva from the Federal University of Rondônia, a fisheries engineer and a specialist in participative methodologies. The educators and the group established a work plan that included a series of live workshops and activities to be undertaken in the intervals between them. At the workshops they learned about design, associativism, entrepreneurship, environment, participative management and public policies. The knowledge acquired in the capacity building courses and the other activities has helped these craftswomen to improve their organization and produce objects that are more attractive to the market while at the same time valuing the Pantanal’s regional culture and the environment. “Nowadays they receive invitations to participate in events like fairs and seminars and their work is widely recognised as an example of sustainable handicrafts”, declares Terezinha. The recycling work generates income and reinforces these Pantanal women’s identities. In addition to the social and organisational aspect, the projects has strongly emphasised environmental considerations. In the Amor-Peixe, nothing is thrown away. Everything is made use of. Even the fish scales are transformed into costume jewellery.
