Beautiful Brazil


Dear Julian and friends,
At this moment I'm in Brazil with Viola and Jordi and ofcourse Iwant to tell you something about this beautiful country.

Brazil is one of the biggest counties in the world. It's about the size of total United States. At this moment there are 188 milion people living in this country but sadly a lot of them live in poverty.



A lot of people are so poor they can't afford a normal house and therefore live in special area's they call farvelas.

We went to visit some children at the farvelas and we brought them gifts and money so that they could go to school. Can you believe that there are children that can't go to school? We wanted to help so much! I know that one day you will be able to help me help them too!!

The language they speak here is different than you are used to. Brazilians speak Portugese because hundreds of years ago the Portugese conquered this county. Their language and there way of building houses is still popular these days.

Brazil is mostly known for there big cities like Rio de Janeiro, the Amazone, Carnaval, and powedery white-sand beaches lined with palm trees.

My foto album will show you everything! I will post a few more pics below! But you must must must check out all my pics!

Here is a map of the Island that I am visiting
I had so much fun here!! It's gorgeous!

Next time i'll tell you about the country of your background, Argentina.

Miss you all,


Bob
