			<description><![CDATA[The border of a condominio is a wall, and it’s a border between the condominian life and the life of the faveldos. Non condominians don’t have the chance to pass through it. and actually this is a wall of communication too. I mean, there people take themselfes apart. The don’t  interact at all, except of the fact that some woman of the favelas work in the households of the condominios. Some of those woman live there too, in a room next to the house, but their whole family is not living together with them. So Where is the point? And as I said, people don’t  have the chance to communicate with each other on a proper way. What I want to say is, that it doesn’t mean, that because of the reason  being a favelado, u  are not supposed to be a human being. That’s ridiculous. If I could suggest about how to cross these barriers I would say that education is a principal point to start. And this is what they unfortunately do not  have. At least most of them don’t have it, and especially old people don’t have it, who live there since the beginning . and this is a factor where I would say, that they have to go out of the favela. They need to go to school, to get a good education and to get a good job to be able to earn money and therefore to start a better life. Just through this they could help their familys as well on a proper way, by taking them with them. So a new chance for all of the favelados could start. although the fevaldos seem to be happy with what they have. And I am sure they do, because they don’t know it elseways. They are happy to have a home, to have food. Nevertheless the don’t have option to be mindfree in there, because of the big boss that rules all over it. cause as far as they don’t talk everything is fine. and exactly this should be changed. this would be a new start to a better life by crossing the borders.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[15th floor of a high rise condominio:
Oh the favelados are so poor! How can they live in a place like that? It is so dirty!!!  and why do I have to look at them every single morning while waking up by looking out of  the window?! I mean I know that they exist. And in my opinion this information is enough .i don’t deserve this having them living next to me. but you know what? its their own fold! If they would be working they would have money to live in a condominio. I got a credit card on my 16th birthday. It is just so easy. I can go shopping every day. So, they should maybe think about this. Well, My goal today is to do my nails. By the way, where is my nail polish? “Marcella, have you seen my nail polish? I have to polish my nails! I have polished them just yesterday! Marcella, have you done my appointment for the hairdresser?!”

a favela girl :
What a beautiful life they are living in. look at that furniture! I am just so said. I want to have the same life. How can life be so unfair? It is not my fault. I was born into a favela and have no option to change my life. I am working as hard as I can to become a famous samba dancer but chances to get discovered are low. Next week there will be a model scout. I am gonna try out for it. Maybe this will  be my  way out?]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Hello everyone!]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[My name is Eleni and I am  gonna tell you something about Rio de Janeiro.Rio de janeiro is a city of  the state rio de janeiro and it is the second largest city in brazil and its in south America, next to the atlantic ocean.
In the city area 6.1 million people are living there.
Have you ever heard about the carnival in rio? Its very famous for this. so there is a big carnival celebration, but I am gonna tell you that later on. There is a big street , a big parade where the samba schools are performing what they have rehearsaled the whole year. And rio also is very famous for the hotel lines tourist places , like the Copacabana , the ipanema. 
Have you ever seen the Christ on the Corcovado mountain ? they call him Christ the Redeemer -‘Cristo Redentor‘. Rio actually has a lot of natural settings also. Its  just very beautiful, you have to visit it. Moreover there is one of the biggest football stadiums, the maracana. The World Cup 2014 will be held in Brazil. it is gonna be the fifth nation to host the world cup for a second time. 2016 the Olympic games will probably take place there too, and we all can be excited to watch.
Nevertheless rio is the city of contrast. it also has a bad site. Violence and criminality is a well known problem on a daily basis. Usually It takes place in the favelas. A favela is a place that expands very quickly. People live illegal on nonregistered areas. it startet in 1920 after the abolishment of slavery. Then people didn’t have anywhere to go, so they stayed where they were. The name favela is named after a plant that climbs up a wall or a mountain. And favelas usually are climbing up a mountain. Everything there is illegal. there is no legal water , no electricity. The favelados , as say are called, live in small self-made homes ,out of wood and metal plates. You cannot compare it to a “normal” way of standard basic living. Everything is ruled by a big boss there having an overview about everything. It´s an enclave. And the other side are the condominios. This is the place, where the rich people live in. it is surrounded by a high wall, where not everyone can enter this area. infront of this entrance, there is security that watches everyone that  wants to come inside this place. So either you live there or you don’t. if you live there you already have made it in live, you are financialy saved and have no problems at all. You have a job, you have a house with a pool, you have a tennis court , so just about every luxury. You can compare it to paradise on earth. Nevertheless people there live in a cage. I mean , they don’t have freedom. they just live in this “valley ”. there are no supermarkets or stores. So for those small things they have to leave the condominio, to go to the city, to buy the things they need, or to go to work and then they come back and live safely, cause no bad people can enter this place. as I said, its saved up with high fences and being controlled by cameras.]]></description>
