Day 6: A little bout what we do, and a little fun!

So on the left here we have a picture of us in front of our school, it is a place where they actually teach English, but we break all the rules and study Portuguese there, yeah!
The picture to the right is of us going to our internship, we will be working with a group that does a lot of different things, from giving people the opportunity to study art- design, photography, and graffiti, to helping clean up by the rivers, giving children that don´t have very good home lives a place to go and play and learn and have fun, and also they are very big on recycling.

 Here are a few more from the museum that we went to.  The story with the museum is Ricardo Bernand made a ton of money off of sugar, he used that money to buy a lot of artifacts and really cool things and built a museum that was open to the public.  There is so much stuff there.  I felt a little selfish when I was talking with a couple friends, we were asking each other what we would do if we made that much money, and my first response is that I would pay off my student loans and then travel-how easy is it to just think of ourselves all the time, and how cool is it that

 there are people who don´t, people like Ricardo who use their money to preserve history and benefit others!
     My first reaction when walking up to the museum was, what the heck, David is in Brazil!!!  Because this statue of David is right up front, he walked a long way ☺

This is the hammock with the amazing view of the ocean and an awesome breeze!

These are a few more pictures from the internship, the people we will be working with.  Above are a group of the kids that they help, I´m not sure what all they do, but I know that have all sorts of games and activities that the kids can do, they have a slackline, they have juggling, they have one of those...bogo boards...the board that we used to have, Jim and Jen have one, it has that circular piece that goes under it and you try to balance on it-which Jessiny can do while singing and playing the guitar behind her back!!!  Anyway, it was a lot of fun to meet them and play with them for awhile.  To the right is Carbonel, he is the one our director has been talking to and working with to get this going for us.  Then on the right is a demonstration of one of their photographers, but it is also pictures of projects they have done to help clean up rivers and other humanitarian type work and it shows somewhat how they use recycled objects to make other things, like the bottles in the picture, or they were using the empty pop bottles to make something when we came in, it is really cool!
