Trilha + Feijoada

 Fala amigos. A Trilha com Feijoada vai rolar heinn!!!


Tô participando de uma campanha de financiamento coletivo para recuperação de micro e pequenos negócios das periferias afetados pela pandemia.
O Match-funding que é como uma vaquinha turbinada: uma nova modalidade de fomento, que mistura o financiamento coletivo (ou crowd-funding) com aporte de parceiros, que multiplicam a arrecadação.

Clica no link e reserve sua vaga.

Para cada R$ 1 arrecadado por intermédio da plataforma da Benfeitoria, o Fundo Colaborativo Enfrente contribui com mais R$ 2, até que a meta seja alcançada.
Então se você compra um o pacote de tour, trilha com feijoada ou qualquer outra recompensa de artesanato eles pagam 2 vezes + o valor e você ajuda os artesãos locais e ainda alavanca meu empreendimento a continuar com os passeios (tours) no Santa Marta e com as ações voluntárias que realizo na favela.
E aí? Bora fortalecer ?!
