In the PROSPERAR room, mentor Ernesto pulled up a chair for Salimo and opened the notebook. — “Let’s choose with our heads and feet on the ground. Tell me: how much space do you have, what food can you guarantee, and what is your main objective?” — “Small backyard, suburban area. I can get cracked corn, some bran, and greens […]

Chapter 40 – Capoeira with Local Materials
The network was already set up: Salimo with the chickens, Hamza with the incubator, Beto with the yard for fattening the hens, and Fito ready for deliveries. Only one piece was missing for everything to work: the chicken coop. Salimo had saved some money from odd jobs, but it wasn't enough to build a structure. […]
Chapter 39 – Everyone in PROSPER
With their network formed — Salimo handling fertile eggs, Hamza the incubator, Beto the fattening process, and Fito the logistics — the four decided to take the next step: seeking guidance. They knew enthusiasm was important, but it wasn't enough. They needed technique, discipline, and market vision. That's how they enrolled in the PROSPERAR program at Quinta […]
Chapter 38 – The Logistics Friend
The trio was excited: Salimo was producing fertile eggs, Hamza was incubating chicks, and Beto was fattening the birds. But there was still a challenge: how to get the products to the customers? Producing wasn't enough—they had to deliver. That's when they remembered Fito, known in the neighborhood for being active on social media and for always finding a way to make a difference.
Chapter 37 – The Bigger Backyard and the Fattening
As the plan took shape, Salimo and Hamza realized that one important piece was still missing. Fertile eggs would turn into chicks, but… where would they fatten all those birds? Salimo's backyard was small, and Hamza's house didn't have enough space. That's when they remembered Beto, a friend known for his good…
Chapter 36 – The Network Begins to Take Shape
After scribbling down his first ideas in his notebook, Salimo understood that he needed to be realistic. Fattening chickens required a lot of feed, and he didn't yet have the means to cover that cost. That's when he remembered a phrase from Mr. Ernesto, the mentor of PROSPERAR: — “In the beginning, choose the path that requires less and brings more return […]
Chapter 35 – The First Plan
With the lady's permission, Salimo felt like he owned a small piece of the world. He sat on the floor, opened an old notebook he had received at school, and began to write. It wasn't just a scribble—it was the beginning of his first plan. On the cover, he wrote in trembling letters: "My Project." First, he asked himself: "What [...]

Chapter 34 – The Application for Authorization
The morning after that sleepless night, Salimo woke up different. His body was the same, but his mind was full of plans. He didn't want to wait for the days to pass in silence. He needed to start, even if small. But there was one thing that bothered him: he wasn't alone. He lived in the house of the woman who had taken him in, […]
Chapter 33 – The Waking Dream
The words of Mr. Ernesto, mentor of PROSPERAR, echoed within him as if hammered into his chest: — “Every sector you saw today can be a business. The secret is to start.” Lying in the silence of the night, Salimo repeated these phrases, chewing them over like food for his soul. They weren't just pretty words, they were reality. He had seen with the […]
