Passion Project

I always had a passion for helping people and I've always been an animal lover.  I was excited about Brazil because I've always thought of the exotic animals in Brazil.  One day, when I was in 4th grade, I looked up endangered animals in Brazil.  The number of different names of animal species was crazy.  Then, a website caught my eyes.  I clicked on it.  There was a picture of a bird called the Hyacinth macaw.  15 years ago the species was down to only 1,500 birds left.  Then, a lady set up an project to try and save the species.  She successfully helped save 3,500 macaws.  This interested me and so I did a lot of things to raise money.  My friends and I did a bake sale (we raised 355 reais).  My passion helped me learn more about Brazil in a way.  It was/is really fun to discover more about the species.
