I will just write some few words by now, details may be posted later. I just wanted to inform that I got back well to Austria. I had an insteresting and intense time in Rio de Janeiro and I am very happy that the weather in Austria is even better then there at the moment ;-). Thank you for attending my blog, I guess I will go on writing here about my experiences in Argentina.
Um abraco, 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
