Daniela and Elena from Mantova to Brasile

What could I say about my project? I'll try to summarize in a few worlds everything which seems to be the most important aspects: my experience which I've had here and continue to have currently is hard and difficult.
We face problems and misunderstandings which make you suffer but this promotes discussion- where you discover lots of things about yourself as it happens in life (it seems that I'm 50 years old, but It is not true!!).From another aspect I think that this occasion is very important for me, for all these opportunities are extremely positive outcomes.
There is the opportunity to learn valuable knowledge upon a culture different from your own, to receive the fondness from the children - both; simple and wonderful and the happiness to meet people whom deserve to be respected.
Furthermore you can begin to understand the 'real distance' between your habitual perspective and your new cultural perspective. It becomes a pleasure to feel (almost physically) that your mind is opening and enriching thanks to all this. Like all things valuable and intensive, you are suffering and grateful at the same time, you are crying and laughing with the same naturalness, and this makes you feel, simply that you are alive.
KissesDaniela
