Wow. We just had an incredible speaker come talk to us about his company. He connects people from much lower classes with the resources for them to form skill sets and get some education, so that they can get jobs. He was so touched by what he sees and by how much our volunteers help here he was crying!!! So, if anyone feels like they have any desire to teach english, or to volunteer at all, there is a lot of need here. Its amazing how much you can help someone by doing so little. It really is the little things you do every day that make the biggest difference in people's lives. Sometimes, just making them smile and giving them some entertainment for a little while helps more than we know.
This afternoon, we went to the afro-brazilian museum and learned about some of the Candomble religion. Its quite cool. There are a bunch of different Gods and Goddesses.
gotta go work out. urgently, apparently!
