(ANS – Porto Alegre) – In recent days
it has become commonplace to hear different accents in the courtyard of the “Dom Bosco” Institute school in Porto Alegre
Truck drivers and volunteers from various locations such as Rondonópolis in Mato Grosso or Lauro de Freitas in the state of Bahia are arriving
While donations are being unloaded by volunteer groups
while preparing to return to their home destinations
These are donations collected from various regions of the country since the tragedy in Rio Grande do Sul raised awareness in other Brazilian states
Ivanir de Souza was responsible for transporting the load from Bahia
accustomed to the North-East-South-East route
was visiting the deep south of the country for the first time
“I always knew that Rio Grande do Sul was a wonderful place to visit
It’s a shame that my visit is under these calamitous circumstances,” he said
“The journey was undertaken as an emergency to deliver aid as quickly as possible,” he concluded
the “Dom Bosco” Institute had received an aid consignment from outside
“Thanks to an agreement made by a relative of one of our employees
we got in touch with an entrepreneur from Paraná who
along with three other companies in the fertiliser sector
managed to send a large delivery to our school,” says Maria Elvira Jardim Menegassi
Executive Director of the “Dom Bosco” Institute in Porto Alegre and responsible for organising the school as a distribution centre
was joyfully received by all the volunteers who
unloaded every kilo of the products sent: rice
The donations were tranferred to food baskets
which were distributed the next day to the displaced people
Members of the National Security Force from the state of Tocantins also visited the “Dom Bosco” Institute in Porto Alegre
where they were welcomed by the Salesian Provincial of the “San Pio X” Province of Brazil-Porto Alegre (BPA)
residing between Palmas and Brasília
toured the school and the class rooms used for sorting the donations collected for the emergency and praised the organisation of the work carried out at the school

Rio de Janeiro — The oil first appeared on the beaches of Brazil’s Paraiba state at the end of August
it has surfaced in nine states in the northeast
mangroves and wildlife in what is proving to be the country’s worst oil spill
although a Greek-flagged tanker is suspected of causing the catastrophe
which was affecting areas far from state capitals where most of the press is based
AFP’s Rio de Janeiro bureau found talented local photographers
I was born and raised on the coast of the Pernambuco state in Brazil
One of the pictures that I took was of a local teenager
as he emerged from the black water with an oil-stained plastic trash bag across his chest
His mother owned a food stall on the beach and he had come to help clean it up
When the photo chief in Rio told me that my photo had been appearing all over the world
was chosen as one of the best photos of the week in media both in Brazil and internationally
and landed the coveted double-page spreads in others
These beaches are an integral part of our identity and it’s sad to see them soiled
These beaches are a lifeline for hundreds of people
who will feel the effects of this for years to come
I have been in the Bahia region for about 10 years
The first images that I took of the spill were with my smartphone on Pituba beach in Salvador
I concentrated on the work of the volunteers who were helping with the clean-up efforts
I have spent so much time here and it breaks my heart to see the beaches and its rocks covered with oil
It is a horror and a disaster and I found myself cleaning up the beach as I was taking photos
People were trying to do it with their bare hands and some began to faint and vomit
Now I carry two bags — one with my camera equipment and a drone and another with oil protection equipment
I have a feeling that I’m mopping up ice cream
We don’t know who is the enemy and how long it will continue to attack us
The volunteers created a WhatsApp group to coordinate their efforts and to meet at the place where the oil appears

She followed that success up with vault gold and uneven bars silver at the 2021 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Kitakyushu, Japan.
In her most recent competition, she achieved another Brazilian first, winning all-around gold at the 2022 World Championships in Liverpool, England.
Andrade has made making history look easy. Jumping, flipping, balancing with the greatest of ease.
But behind all the achievements, the gymnastics world had been waiting for Andrade's once-in-a-generation talent to come to fruition since she first made her senior international debut in 2015.
ACL tears in 2015, 2017, and 2019 would have given her every excuse to move on from the sport. Instead, she forged ahead, sending a powerful message to her legion of fans.
“I really wanted an achievement like this in the individual all-around, because I think that's where I have the most chances with vaulting, as well,” said Andrade during an exclusive interview with Olympics.com after the conclusion of the 2022 World Championships. “But having in my career, even just once in my life, being the most complete athlete in the world was very important to me. This gold is very important to me, so I am very happy.”
Rebeca Andrade: "All that I've been through was worth it."Not even three anterior cruciate knee ligament tears could stop Andrade becoming the first Brazilian woman to win Olympic gold in artistic gymnastics
She talks about the importance of perseverance
her gratitude to Brazilian gymnasts of the past
and her chances of competing at Paris 2024
Andrade scored a big win in the all-around final
totalling 56.899 points ahead of silver medallist Shilese Jones of the United States’ 55.399
Eyes will be on Andrade in Bahia for a preview of the coming battle with Biles. In recent weeks and months, the 24-year-old has shared several training videos with fans on social media that have shown an upgraded vault (Amanar), uneven bars dismount (double-double) and balance beam series (back handspring, layout stepout, layout stepout).
Fans will also have a keen look at Andrade’s floor exercise, which she has promised will be a departure from her beloved ‘Baile de Favela.’
Having grown up in the favelas of Sao Paulo, the music paid homage to her roots.
It was an instant classic for the gymnast.
“I think everyone really liked it and it was a song that suited me, that I would like to introduce myself with, I still like it and it will be very difficult for us to find a song that will be as successful as this one,” Andrade said of the routine. “But I hope that we will be able to find it.”

have been cautious in the years following her third ACL tear
Picking and choosing when to compete and often opting out of the floor exercise
she only performed on the floor exercise twice prior to the worlds and even when she did
but has a busy second half of the year planned with the Worlds and Pan Am Games on her schedule
"I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other
I'm never going to lie to not do it," said Andrade of her strategy
when I really tell him that I can't do it
it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”
This approach seems to be working – and encompasses her approach to Paris 2024 and what would be a third trip to the Olympic Games
“The main goal is to be healthy and happy,” Andrade says of Paris

The event is set for Friday (18 August) and Sunday (20 August) and will be held in Lauro de Freitas in Bahia
Andrade will be seeking a third-straight national title
The competition is the first of a busy second half of the year for Andrade who is expected to also compete at the World Championships in Antwerp
in late September and the Pan American Games in Santiago
The 24-year-old has kept a conservative competition schedule since suffering a third ACL tear in 2019
The tactic has paid off with Andrade making history at the Tokyo 2020 Games
winning all-around silver and vault gold medals
she became the first South American woman to claim the World all-around gold medal at the global event in Liverpool
Below is the complete schedule for the event, as well as how to watch the competition live.
Below is the complete schedule for the event
Andrade competes in the second women's subdivision
Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife
The ceremony took place in the Quingoma community which is located in Lauro de Freitas in the metropolitan region of Salvador on March 19
The community is popular for housing Yoruba people
who were enslaved and forcibly removed from their base in Nigeria during the era of the slave trade in Africa
During Ooni’s recent visit to Brazil
he proclaimed the territory as a Yoruba community
the monarch said the recognition of Quilombola as Yoruba territory is another step in the fight for respect for African history
He also said the move will help preserve the rich and robust history of the Brazilians and the Yoruba people
“This event is a very big one for me because I am passionate about preserving the Yorubas culture and its deep-rooted values
this event will lay precedence for the Yoruba language and its culture to be more acceptable globally,” he said
“You can see the excitement on their faces
Their Babalawos are well grounded in the teachings of Ifa and can render the Odu-Ifa and its panegyrics like our Ifa priest do in Nigeria
They have designated days to celebrate these gods with colorful displays infused with plenty of aesthetics
They also speak Yoruba which is one thing I love about them
“It’s very essential to harmonize them and also shows solidarity that we are part of them and they are part of us
this will foster good bilateral trade between Brazil and Nigeria and it will also put the Yoruba culture at an advantage.”
