Brasil!!
First of all I want to tell u, I usually prefer sending individual e-mails, but as I will go to Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, to work there in a favela for 5 months, I wont be able to write that often I guess. So I decided to leave some messages here from time to time, to inform those who are interested in how life is going there. The special details will hopefully come in personal e-mails,though...;-) Would be glad to hear from you too!
Bye, Amelie
Primero quiero decirles que normalmente prefiero mandar e-mails personales, pero como me voy a Brazil, Rio de Janeiro a trabajar alla en una favela, no creo que tendre muchas oportunidades para escribir. Por eso decidi de escribir mensajes en este blog de vez en cuando para dejarles informado sobre mi vida de alla. Los detailles mandare en e-mails mas personales ;-)Ojala que me dejen informada sobre sus vidas tambien!
Un Beso, Amelie
Zunächst möchte ich euch wissen lassen, dass ich normalerweise lieber persönliche E-Mails schreibe.Ich werde nun jedoch 5 Monate nach Brasilien, Rio de Janeiro gehen, um dort ein Praktikum in einer Favela zu absolvieren, und ich kann nicht sagen wie oft ich Zugang zum Internet habe. Daher möchte ich ab und zu hier einen Eintrag in meinem Blog schreiben, um diejenigen zu informieren, die interessiert, wie alles dort so läuft. Bestimmte Details kommen dann noch in persönlichen E-Mails ;-)Ich würde mich freuen auch von euch zu hören!
Eure Amelie
About Me
- Amelie
- Rio de Janeiro, Gardênia Azul, Brazil
- At present I am completing an internship within my studies of “Non Profit, Social and Health Care Management” at the MCI, Austria. Therefore I am currently maintaining my domicile in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I am working with the NGO Salamaleque. Salamaleque provides professional dance classes for children to keep them occupied in their spare time. Some of them attend school, some don’t, but what they have in common is the lack of space to creatively let off steam and enjoy a social network where they learn discipline and experience self esteem. War between drug lords, the militia and the police in the favelas, and the drugs and weapons children are confronted with, are the reason why children can’t play on the streets.My part is supporting the NGO with the management. Before leaving to Brazil I was agonizing about my decision. The flute of violence was augmenting from day to day. But I had taken my decision months before that; I had done a project for this organization before and I was eager to carry out my internship in Brazil. To let you informed about the incidents I am writing here, hoping for some feedback and comments from all of you. Muitos Beijos! Amelie
