Dear Friends,

I would like to show you some pictures from our project involving microcredit, urban agriculture and youth development in a very poor community very close (10 miles) from the Brazilian political center, from the World Bank, the IDB and the foreign Embassies. By seeing this picture you will know better how are conditions are, here, and have a vision of the future of many other countries in the world if relevant changes are not done in our - and yours - cultural and economic realities.

PS. I have sent for the list a message "monitoring and animation" intended to go only to one friend of mine. I beg your pardon if it took some bytes or seconds from you too. Best Regards, Joaquim
