3. THE THIRD PART OF NOVA LUA PROJECT, IS ACTUALLY WHAT WE LEARN AND EVOLVE JUST BY BEING AROUND BURNERS <3

Helping our country when we come back, trying to show them the strength of collaboration over competition, how taking care of your environment is actually taking care about yourself too, the freedom of being yourself, free from shakes of what society want us to be, and how living all of that helps creating a critical thinking that is extremely important when the country is taken advantage of and under poor care for so long.
