I must admit, I have been very lazy with writing. Like always it happened a lot since the last time I’ve written.
The most important things: I was in the palast of the president (because the brazilian president Lula came to visit), I didn’t go out for two days because I was afraid of the kidnappings (now not anymore, but I decided to only use motorcycles for transport), I have been in the morgue and got a picture (I tried to do that several times last year and I never succeeded) and yesterday I became friend with some gangsters in a slum called Fort Dimanche (this is where they eat the mudcakes). Today there will be a manifestation against the kidnappings, I will go there for sure! It’s crazy here.. officially have been over 140 kidnappings only in 2008! The unregistered number is much higher… But I promise that they won’t get me 
Yesterday I opened a bancaccount and will put a part of the donations on this account to pay for 4 children the schoolfees for 4-5 years. The most significant action to get out of the poverty is to graduate in school and if I pay it only for one year for many children, it will not help them at all. Elie, my friend and translator will be in charge that they use the money only for the school and not for anything else. I trust him 100% and he will send me all documents, pictures, etc to prove the right use of the money. He choosed me as the godmother for his newborn son, so I’m sure he will not mess up with the money.
Another part of the money I used among others for the people in Fort Dimanche (where they eat the mudcakes), the streetchildren at the airport, to buy bags of rice and lots of medecin for the sick children.
So everything is fine here, don’t worry for me (I have protection oil and insence from the witches )
