Name: Josué Lira

Age: 22

Where do you call home? I live in a rural area around the city of Sao Caetano, in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil.

Education/Career: I finished high school.

What’s a typical day for you? I spend my days taking care of the cattle on my parent’s farm. I start my day having breakfast and watch my mother milk the goats. After the milk is collected, I help her to take the herd back to the pasture and sometimes my nephew helps us. The next round is to feed the chickens and collect their eggs. In the afternoons I walk the farm with my dog and do some weeding. This is an everyday job and essential to keep the pasture productive.
