two weeks'm already here ... and I feel really quite good!
The project is currently still have my job just to be there and know the structures and processes. So I will still be asked every day:) When Capoeira I am also embarrassed already: D but still had fun:)
afternoon I am usually with Elisa and or and Marlene go and we visit schools and godchildren. During such visits, see and hear much more. Some see and hear it pretty tough stuff. Unfortunately there is for the poor people a lot of problems with alcohol and drugs and cause domestic violence. An experience I had with a Boys this week. Elisa and I are in the evening come to a youth center and had already closed. Only Marlene (an employee) was still sitting with a boy before and have been waiting for. I got them to put it short, Elisa wanted to get just for me. The boy was shy and did not fully trusted only a few questions to ask. And finally he asked me but then my name. His second Question then was: what is called "Father" and "mother" in German ... The boy outside the youth center on the car serviced by the home to pick him up. He has no parents anymore ... I know its exact history nicht.Aber live in the home children who were either taken away from home because of domestic Violence or the parents have no more capable of caring for them, either because they are in jail or dead ...
Next he then asked me as to whether the police in Germany was bad too. He did not believe that the police in Germany no one proposed for no reason. In the end, he then said only that he comes to Germany!
My previous experience I had glaring just as we were heading back to visit sponsored children. We have passed briefly at the house where she previously lived with their children. After that we went through this district, as we (me and three employees of KoBra: Vera, Marlene and Elisa) Tumult have noticed on a house and Vera has called out "Stop". In the garden of the house of a crying little boy was bleeding from the neck, the whole abdomen red with blood. Marlene and Vera immediately jumped out of the car. I was shocked at first. Elisa has immediately called the emergency and tried to explain where we are. But somehow did not seem to be working. The mother of the young was totally dissolved, while the latter has bled constantly and always called, he wants to shower, because he was full of blood war.Das everything happened as he was when games get the ball, but he has the barbed wire fence the neck slashed.
Somehow this, with the Ambulances were not all that worked out, came to the one the boy would probably have bled to death . So we packed the car the mother, Marlene took the boy on the arm and the bleeding with a towel on the neck trying to stop. And so are we, as in the film, raced through the streets of Rondonopolis, the horn as a faithful companion always there. On the way we have then told the mother that the father had only taken 4 months before the life in which he slashed his wrists had been cut open and bled to death was. Now I could understand a lot more excitement this mother. So we have been introduced to the boy and his mother to the next station with ambulance, where he then directly was supplied.
But there are of course not only this not so nice pages here! The Brazilians are really all very much and I will receive absolutely everywhere with open arms and that is really great. The children are happy to see me ever total. I think this really is a great year for me ...
I will probably only come back as a ball ... there's always a lot zuessen and rice and beans are also really nutritious and the Brazilians eat anything really, really sweet, really gets into the coffee and pure sugar in the juice. Thank God I always get it all without sugar)
But one thing will probably never my thing is ... washing clothes by hand ... so I probably still need some practice: D
So until next time
