Rundbrief des Zivildienstleistenden Lukas Fischer

There are no translations available.

Liebe Freunde, Bekannte, Weltenreisende, Unterstützer, Interessierte....

jetzt ist es schon fast ein Jahr her, seitdem ich mich auf meinen Weg nach Brasilien gemacht habe. Seitdem arbeite ich als Zivildienstleistender und Missionar auf Zeit in der kleinen Stadt Araruna im Nordosten Brasiliens. Um Ihnen noch einen letzten Einblick in meine Arbeit zu bieten, sende ich Ihnen diesen etwas speziellen Rundbrief, in dem ich Euch einen (fast) gewöhnlichen Tag meiner Arbeit und meines Lebens hier in Brasilien vorstellen möchte.

Quarter report April to June – Hoping und worrying for rain

It is June and finally it is raining! Normally the rainy season begins at the end of March or at the beginning of April - but not this year.
Although it has begun to rain now, this year will be an especially dry one. The lack of rain over the last few months probably cannot be compensated by the remaining weeks of the rainy season, which normally ends at the end of July. This fact has great influence on the dry region and also on most of our projects.

Background

Dear Reader

Araruna is a small town with about 18,000 inhabitants in the state of Paraiba in the northeast of Brazil, which is said to be one of the driest regions in the country.

In the interior of the country, it only rains a few days in some years. Especially the farmers with their families suffer from these difficult circumstances.

Since the year 2000 our main goal is to provide support for these inhabitants.
