NOW IT’S FEDERAL!
They agree...
Very cool. Finally I managed to raise awareness of the Federal Government to support Rodas Livres. I just received a letter signed by the Sports Minister congratulating me and giving institutional support to the project. I was very pleased about this and I owe this victory to Gustavo, ministry official, who was interested in the case and gave an enormous aid. I was not as successful with the Ministries of Environment and Foreign Affairs. The first required that the project had been conceived in partnership with them and last not even deigned to reply …
Isn't it nice ?
How much do you have ?
A short letter like this (now I’m abusing and asking them to write it again, in English), can help a lot when the time comes to get a visa or get out of a trouble when abroad. After all, borders are always problematic and we never know …
Come and help us !
Also, today, through the website www.catarse.me, was started the crowdfunding campaign, type of fundraising in which people contribute to projects they deem relevant. Now it will be necessary to divulgate this through social networks and, if possible, also through the mainstream press.

Especially for mounting the video that introduced the project, I had the invaluable help of my friends Geléia, which professionally took the images, and Nando, who gave me as a gift the edition of the material in the equipment of his film producer company, Puzzle Films. The end result pleased me very much. Thanks also to Wim Mertens, who “lent” some of his delicious instrumental compositions to the soundtrack. See the work:
Almost ready !
Also, it’s almost ready the official blog – it is already in the air, but still inoperative – developed by Vinyl, thanks to Fernanda.
Finally, I am doing a battery of medical examinations … Today was the turn of the eyes. They are good, but due to an collyrium almost hallucinogenic that dilated my pupils, this text still is seen double …
I swear it was here...
Maybe I shouldn't...
Next week I will give special attention to the prostate, which has many good services rendered me, and go to the urologist (fortunately the bicycle is a recumbent one…). It’s lacking only give some attention to the “piano” (teeth) and I can already consider that the machine is properly oiled. By now, I should be considering myself a slender middle age man, but as I’m arching with this project almost alone, I’m feeling more as a spender one…
It's all right !
