Girawa made new steps in 2024 with the Youth Club Project after achieving good results in 2023 as a pilot.
In 2023, the Youth Club Project provided teaching material and mentoring to the Brazilian Ambassadors to create and coordinate 2 Youth Clubs, in Lins and Taubaté cities, state of Sao Paulo – Brazil. In a meeting with both Youth clubs, it was decided to create the Brazil Youth Club, aimed to connect both Youth Clubs through joint activities. The main activity was the development and installation of QR Code Social Media Signs on fruit trees in preservation and visitation areas in Youth’s local communities.
