Sao exatamente 11:33 da noite em Malawi eu nao consigo durmi talvez por conta do stress da tarde.
Pela manha fui em uma das minhas preschool e por irionia cai da minha bicicleta sem forcas para bedalar resolvir puxar minha bicicleta e refletir sobre a minha vida. Pensei nas alegrias e decepcoes que vive aqui.
Posso dizer o que mais me deu alegria e forca para trabalhar foi o rosto de cada crianca das minhas preschool e das criancas vejo diariamente nas ruas quando vou para o trabalho.
Pelas criancas passaria o resto da minha vida aqui sem pensar nas outras pessoas que complementam minha vida.
Gostaria de fazer do mundo dessas criancas algo diferente da realidade presente aqui, mas quem sou eu??? Apenas uma voluntaria tentando passar o amor humano que existe dentro de mim...
No entanto o que mais me stress e a educacao Machista presente neste pais. Infelizmente as mulheres do Malawi sao completamente submissa aos homens sao elas que tem que cuidar das criancas, fazer o servico de casa e se ajuelham quando vao comprimentar um homem. Muitas delas sofrem violencia domestica e se calam por achar que nao tem solucao ou ajuda da familia. A poligamia tambem e algo presente aqui e as mulheres acham isso normal por saber que o homem pode sustentar mais de uma familia.
Hoje por exemplo quando estava voltando do trabalho vi uma mulher com seu marido caminhando. Ele andava totalmente tranquilo enquanto sua esposa carregava uma mala na cabeca e a criancas nas costa. A imagem alem de agressiva e reflexiva. Quantos anos essa cultura machista sera presente neste pais.
Sei que este e um problema presente em muitas outras culturas mas eu nunca tinha vivenciei uma cultura tao machista e preconceituosa em relacao a mulher.
Ja briguei com muitos homens aqui as vezes esqueco do meu tamanho e do perigo mas o meu nervoso e alma feminista fala mais alto.
Uma vez um dos senhor que trabalho comigo me disse: Ana se eu tivesse dinheiro casaria contigo!!! Eu respondi : Desculpa eu nao entendi o que voce disse.
Conversei com ele durante uns 15 minutos explicando que o mundo nao funciona atraves de dinheiro que o casamento e a uniao de duas pessoas que se unem por amor!!
Claro disse que se ele fosse o homem mais rico do mundo nao casaria com ele pois dinheiro e merda para mim. Isso foi algo que me magou muito senti uma outra forma de preconceito nunca vivido antes.
E hoje pela segunda vez outro homem acabou com o meu fim de tarde dizendo para mim que eu precisa ter um HOMEM para durmi comigo aqui no Malawi... Claro minha vontade era mandar ele para......
Mas fiquei tao abalada que so consegui responder: I don't give shit!! I don't need Men!! You're too much Stupid!!!!
Minha vontade era de cuspir na cara dele e dar um soco, mas continuei ouvindo a minha musica em volume alto....
Precisava desabafar pois estou ate agora com o coracao apertado pela violencia sofrida hoje.
Fico a pensar na situcao da mulher em outros paises do Continente Africano.
Cansada.... Mas amanha sera outro dia espero que sem stress...
Are exactly 11:33 at night in Malawi cannot I sleep maybe because of the stress of late.
In the morning I was in one of my preschool and Irion fall of my bike without the strength to pull my bike Beadle solve and reflect on my life. I thought of the joys and disappointments that live here.
I can tell you what gave me more joy and strength to work was the face of every child of my preschool and children see every day on the streets when I go to work.
For the children spend the rest of my life here without thinking of other people who complement my life.
I would like to make the world these kids something different from the present reality here, but who am I? Just trying to pass a voluntary human love that is within me ...
But what else I stress education and Macho present in this country. Unfortunately women in Malawi are completely submissive to men are they who have to take care of the children, do housework and Kneeling When will greet a man. Many of them suffer domestic violence and are silent because they think has no solution or help the family. The polygamy is also something in here and finds it normal for women to know that man can hold more than one family.
Today for example when I was coming home from work I saw a woman walking with her husband. He went completely quiet while his wife was carrying a bag on your head and children in the back. The image in addition to aggressive and reflective. How old is this macho culture in this country will be present?
I know this is a problem present in many other cultures but I had never experienced a culture so sexist and biased toward women.
Ever fought with many men here Sometimes I forget my size and the danger and nervous but my feminist soul talks.
Once one of you who work with me told me if I had money Ana married to you! I replied: Sorry I do not understand what you said.
I talked with him for about 15 minutes explaining that the world does not work through money that marriage and union of two people who come together for love!
Course said that he was the richest man in the world will not marry him for money and shit to me. This was something I felt very hurt another form of prejudice never lived before.
And now for the second time another man ended my evening telling me that I need a man to sleep with me here in Malawi ... Of course my intention was to send him ......
But I was so shaken that she could only reply: I do not give shit! I do not Need Men! You're too much Stupid!!
My intention was to spit in his face and punch, but I kept listening to my music at high volume ....
I needed to vent because I am so far with a heavy heart for the violence today.
I'm thinking about situation of women in other African countries.
Tired .... But tomorrow is another day ... hopefully without stress
My life in blog!!!
This blog has how objective to tell my new simple life and experience in Malawi. Este blog tem como objetivo contar à minha nova vida e experiencias no Malawi.

Ola pessoas / Hello people
Desculpa pelo sumico e que esse mes foi tao corrido e cansativo que nao tive tempo de escrever aqui no blog...
Mas vamos la...
Agora falta meno de um mes para deixar Malawi e ainda tenho muito o que fazer a comecar com a construcao da escola, que so falta colocar a porta e as janelas e fazer alguns desenhos na parede. Confesso que nao vejo a hora de ver tudo terminado.
Essa construcao foi mais que um desafio e sim um trabalho com a maravilhosa comunidade Kalamilamoto que a todo momento este junto comigo. Algumas pessoas dizem que fiz um grande trabalho mas nao compreende que sozinha nao faria nada.
Nas outras duas escolas que trabalho faltam doar alguns materias para as professoras continuarem o trabalho. E no orfanato tenho que passar o servico para o novo voluntario que chega no fim deste mes.
Sexta feira passada realizei meu ultimo big teacher trainee devido a chuva presente aqui vinheram poucos professores. Eu dei apresentacao sobre Educacao decide sobre esse tema pois sao esses professores de preschool que iniciam o desenvolvimento das criancas aqui atraves de musicas,arte e brincadeira. Queria que eles soubesse o tao quanto importante eles sao apesar de nao recebem dinheiro do governo...
Minha jornada aqui ainda nao terminou mas posso dizer que a maior beneficiada nesses seis meses de trabalho voluntario foi eu....
Hello people,
Sorry for the disappearances and this month was so busy and rushed that I did not have time to write here on the blog ...
But let it ...
What remains now is the phenomenon one month to leave Malawi and still have plenty to do to start with building the school, so that failure to put the door and windows and do some drawings on the wall. I confess that I can not wait to see it finished.
This construction was more of a challenge but a wonderful community to work with you at all times Kalamilamoto this with me. Some people say they did a great job but do not realize that alone does not do anything.
In the other two schools work missing donate some materials for the teachers continue the work. And at the orphanage have to pass the service for the new volunteer who arrives later this month.
Last Friday realized my last big trainee teacher due to rain were present here a few teachers. I gave presentation on Education decides on this issue because these are preschool teachers who initiate the development of the children here through music, art and play. I wish they knew how important they are tao Despite receiving government money ...
My journey here has not yet finished but I can say that the greatest benefit in those six months of volunteer work I was ....

Fim de Ano com muito trabaho.The end of New Year wich a lot work
Fim de Ano com muito trabaho.The end of New Year wich a lot work
Dezembro foi um mes de muito trabalho devido as festas de fim de Ano. Realizamos um Big Teacher Trainee especial conseguimos comprar Arroz,Frango e Frutas. E doamos presente para os professores.
Na ultima semana do Ano tivemos uma programcao especial de trabalho: Firewood em uma Village,Sport Day,Tree Plantation,Preschool Day,Reading Day e ontem fechemos a programacao com concertos de tres musicos aqui na sede da DApp.
Nos dias 21,22 e 23 realizei festas nas minhas preschool e foi tao maravilhoso!!!!
Eu as criancas nos divertimos muito levei alguns biscoitos e leite e sucos pois nao tinha muita dinheiro e nao consegui doacoes. Alem da comida levei alguns jogos e uma bola.
Uma das minhas professoras disse que foi o melhor Natal da vida dela.
Me senti viva e util !!! Util Me senti a pessoa mais feliz do mundo as criancas aqui preenche minha vida de uma forma que eu nao sei descrever me sinto privilegiada por tudo que vivi nesse dias de dezembro….
Em todos os Natal me lembro do tempo em que minha mae organizava enorme jantares para familia eu sempre como ovelha negra da familia ficava nervosa devido a quantidade de barulho rsrs era cachorro latino, crianca chorando, todos os meus cunhados (as) em casa comida e samba da melhor qualidade.
Apesar da bagunca e do barulho eu me divertia muito com a eneriga maravilhosa que reinava em minha casa.
Com o falecimento das minhas duas irmas,irmao e do meu Pai perdemos tambem o encanto de comemoracao a familia se reunem mas para mim perdeu a graca.
Aprendi que feliz sao aqueles que tem alguma recordacao para relembrar a ausencia de quem nao esta mais aqui presente.
Ah muito tempo nao me sinto feliz com esssas festas de fim de Ano pois e neste periodo que as pessoas mais consomem futilidade gastam dinheiro com roupas, enfim as pessoas constumam festir uma fantasia da comemoracao sem olhar para a realidade ao seu lado.
Ano Passado passei meu Natal e Ano Novo em New York e foi uma tanto que gelada pois alem do frio e da neve de New York tinha a frieza das pessoas que estavam la.
Mas nesta virada de Ano so existiu o calor do povo Malawiano que sobrevive em meia tantas dificuldades.
Enfim apesar da saudade das pessoas que amo, tive momentos de pura felicidade aqui no Malawi..
Feliz Ano Novo…
December was a month of hard work due to the holiday of a Big Year Teacher Trainee We can buy special rice, chicken and fruit. And donate gift for teachers.
In the last week of the year had a special work program: Firewood on a Village Sports Day, Tree Plantation Day Preschool, Reading Day and yesterday we scheduled three concerts with musicians here at the DAPP.
On days 21, 22 and 23 parties realized in my preschool and were so wonderful!
I had a great time the kids took some cookies and milk and juice because I had not got much money and donations. Besides the food took a few games and a ball.
One of my teachers said it was the best Christmas of her life.
I felt alive and useful! Helpful I felt the happiest person in the world the children here fills my life in a way that I do not know I feel privileged to describe everything I lived through that day in December ....
In all the Christmas I remember the time when my mother organized huge family dinners I always like the black sheep of the family was nervous because the amount of noise dog was America, children crying, all my in-laws (the) food at home and samba the best quality.
Despite the mess and noise I had great fun with the wonderful energy that reigned in my home.
With the death of my two sisters, brother and my father also lost the charm of the family gather celebration but for me the grace lost.
I learned that happy are those who have any memory to remember the absence of those not here present.
Ah long time I am not happy with Christmas and New Year because that is when people consume more futility spend money on clothes, he often asks people last party a celebration of fantasy to reality without looking at his side.
Last year I spent my Christmas and New Year in New York and was a cold so much because besides the cold and snow of New York had the coldness of the people who were there.
But this turn of the year so there was the heat of the Malawian people that survives in half so much trouble.
Anyway despite the longing of the people I love, I had moments of pure happiness here in Malawi..
Happy New Year ...
