Going back Home
What a wonderfull trip. Teaching my students here in Fortaleza was beautiful last week. I was teaching at a cultural center in an area in Fortaleza named Bom Jardim. The cultural center has teachers for music, theatre, dance, visual arts etc. It was founded to uplift the community as Bom Jardim is a hard area to live in due to drug trafficking and shootings. The students are the most beautifull and eager to learn students that I have taught in a long time as has been my experience with almost all of my teaching experiences in Brasil. We had a culminating concert with another group from the school of music from Guaramiranga where I went after to teach as well. We all had a blast! During this week I also participated in a concert with my friends band Donna Zefinha in a theatre here in Fortaleza. Donna Zefinha was awarded money for a project where they call upon two other bands in the city to meet and talk about the music market today, then present a concert with all three bands playing seperately then together in the end. Very uplifting...
On Saturday after my show with the students from Bom Jardim we went to Guaramiranga which is a town up in the mountains a couple hours away from Fortaleza where my friend teaches at the school of arts there in the town. This place was absolutely gorgeous as it is nestled in a national preserved park. Many hiking trails, waterfalls, extremely lush mountain tropical rainforest. Coffee, bana trees, fruits galore.....i taught at the school there three days, and everyday Luke and I went out after lunch to a different trail everyday. I think I´m going to build my house there:) Enjoy the pictures!!!!
