A meaningful morning. Took the train South and ended up in favela Monte Azul. A much happier and colorful favela than my favela experience in Rio. People were smiling and I felt a positive ambience. Having said that, I don't know what happens behind close doors. Monte Azul is also the name of a very successful organization that operates in the favela, offering the people medical care, cultural activities, education and sports. All in one.
While visiting a school, a cute boy just jumped up in my arms, started playing with my hair and asked me plenty of questions (did not give me any time to respond) and therefore the teacher suggested I should come back and we decided Friday.
Indeed it is a difficult journey to follow someone and after 8 months I still haven't found something meaningful to do. Something I feel excited and passionate about when I wake up in the morning. Something that is worth while and stimulating. Something that brings me energy. This morning, indeed, I felt excitement and, for sure, I will continue with my positive thinking in order to attract a great change and I can feel it is coming closer and closer.
Ps. I like the creativity of growing plants in recycled plastic bottles.
