Reflections on living and volunteering in Brazil. Sunday, May 01, 2005. The beach in Canoa is postcard-perfect, isn't it? Posted by claudia @ 6:41 AM. Kind of makes you want to sing that song. another day in paradise doesn't it? There are places that are so beautiful and yet there are people that are struggling to live. Nice pix. you look good! Ah, ca c'est la vie! I could just hear the ebb of the water- so soothing so therapeutic. I bet it's no comparison to Sauble Beach! Jeep wrangler 20 inch rims.

http://janelajanelajanela.blogspot.com/2005/04/favela-called-america.html
Reflections on living and volunteering in Brazil. Tuesday, April 19, 2005. A favela called America. This past weekend, residents of a community in the Praia do Futuro area, east side of Fortaleza, moved to a hill right next to the Morro da Vítoria favela where we work. These people took over the abandoned land, owned by the government, to create their homes. They used scrap material such as cardboard and wood and plastic to build their shacks. Guess what they called the community? Take care of yourself.

Reflections on living and volunteering in Brazil. Thursday, April 28, 2005. I am absolutely exhausted. My mind is exhausted because so much has happened in the last little while. My body feels weak and I'm not digesting my food at all. It's so frustrating! I haven't been allergic to medication I've taken in the past, but I am concerned about having a reaction to anti-parasite stuff. So, I will talk to my partner's mom, a pharmacist, tomorrow. And the mother ignores her when she says it. She's ignored...

Reflections on living and volunteering in Brazil. Sunday, May 01, 2005. On a brighter note, here are some pics! We just got a CD burned. This one is from a feijoada party three weeks ago with my drumming friends. The alfaia drums are lined up on the left, my teacher is playing caixa (in blue and white) and the girls on the right are playing ganzá. Living in Brazil is incredible. Posted by claudia @ 6:30 AM.
