Ladies and gentlemen you’ve never heard of me until today,

Writing this letter desperate to talk to you about my America, so much suffering and so beautiful

I’ll tell you how it seems to be an enchanted place a kind of heaven.

My Latin America is more beautiful than the pictures of Botero.

More sometimes is as sad as the paintings of Frida

It is as intense as the tango

It’s as happy as Brazil,

My Latin America has everything has sea
It has rivers,
There are waterfalls,
It has desert and technology,
There are people happy, people have suffered,
They are communists and capitalists
My beautiful America has Indians of all ethnic groups,
It gypsies, blacks and whites,
It has history, this has been through,
And an uncertain future
It has natural resources,
My America is a poor little rich girl,
My Latin America every day is violated its natural resources comes every day fading into a terrible capacity very fast!

After this confession I think I can perhaps naively call you friends,

More is how we behave in Latin, or rather, most of us like that.

More like not everything is perfect ,….

You know friends I am Brazilian

The Brazil and Latin America has it all I said is a country that looks more like a continent

Why is it you see all races and everything all mixed together, everyone has the blood of Indians,

Many like me have European blood, with African and a fantastic mix of people and religions are many and each day appears once for composing the beauty and diversity of my country,

In my country every day comes a new alien, foreign or new they are welcome …

My country is not as violent as it seems he is more comfortable than you think,

He is so cozy that has a beautiful forest say it is full of enchanted beings who have not even been, discovered more we know that there are

You people who live alone as more than 509 years why our forest is enchanted.

And more than that say that our rainforest is the lungs of the world and be part of our being deserves love and respect

I will ask you friends, and perhaps even for those who do not want to be none, to help us make our Amazon and our people free of any destruction

Caused by foreigners and even ashamed mind of timber, rice,

and all these people here, the son of our land blood of our people, young children of the forest that deplete it,

Destroy our beloved homeland, Brazil!

With love and affection faith that our voice will be heard Denise Gramelick.

Think another good role model is Jet Li.

” If there’s one thing that’s worth doing is to “do good in secret.”
well said.

Do good, and feel good that you have done good,
knowing that yourselft is good enough
nobody else need to know
when one can attain that state of mind in giving, it is a wonderful state to be in,
and wonderful to have such a person around

Yes, we need someone to point out to the people of Singapore & the Gahmen that THERE IS POVERTY IN SINGAPORE.

Our academics are already trying.

n December 1994, the Jakarta Post published an essay by NUS Political Science Lecturer Dr Bilveer Singh titled “Singapore Faces Challenges of Success”. In his article, Dr Bilveer Singh wrote:

What the statistics hide through the law of averages and generalisation, is that the majority of Singaporeans are basically living hand-to-mouth and it is these Singaporeans, who constitute the majority, that have become increasingly alienated with the Government.”

The Singapore Government rebuked Dr Bilveer Singh in a letter to the Jakarta Post through Simon De Cruz, the Charge d’Affaires at the Singapore Embassy in Indonesia. Simon challenged Dr Bilveer Singh to either substantiate his allegations or withdraw them, particularly on the claims that the government is profiteering from the introduction of GST, that Singapore is a society that is faced with growing impoverishment and that “a majority of Singaporeans are basically living hand-to-mouth”. De Cruz also said that as an academic, Dr Bilver Singh could not “merely assert the conclusion to be proven and ignore facts to the contrary”. Dr Bilveer Singh withdrew his allegations subsequently.

Currently we have no idea how many percent of our population is living under poverty line as there is no official data. Not helping is the Gahmen’s official stance that there is no poverty in Singapore.

Yes, we need someone to point out to the people of Singapore & the Gahmen that THERE IS POVERTY IN SINGAPORE.

Too bad Singapore celebrities won’t do something like that for fear of losing their job or possibly reputation.

All the hype and talk of altruism does not mean squat if there’s a hidden agenda beneath. Not unlike the ad nauseam rubbish of PAP politicians sacrificing their riches by serving the country (oops, should be Shanmugam’s city) as mintsters and MPs. Geez, what would they not do to put themselves in a good light to win another vote?

Thanking and giving a kind smile to the poor grandma/grandpa who cleans after you when you eat at the hawker centre or foodcourt may be more charitable than one thinks.
