Andréa
Andréa was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she grew up in close contact with nature. However, it was only when her five kids were off to secondary school that she fully committed to her mission of doing her part to reforest the Amazon. Andréa is an ambassador for Human Rights Watch in Brazil and runs two educational programs in the communities of Vidigal and Rocinha in Rio de Janeiro. She has been based in London for the past 25 years and her passions are education and the environment.
