Sou amigo da Monique e estou levantando fundos para comprar uma passagem de avião para a avó dela ir visitá-la em Paris. A avó da Monique, dona Dulcineia, é a parente mais próxima, e provavelmente a mais amada, da Monique.
Com muita garra (e uma bolsa da União Europeia que viabilizou a garra) Monique deixou o Rio de Janeiro para estudar na Europa em 2011. O programa se chama Erasmus Mundus, ela já passou pelas universidades de Pádoa, de Bruxellas e agora está na Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne. Seu tema de estudo é grosso modo Desenvolvimento local sustentável (sobretudo favelas no Rio).
A comunicação entre dona Dulcineia e sua neta, a Monique, tem sido mínima. Por skype, a comunicação não é das melhores, já que, no lugar do Rio onde a avó mora (Favela da Coroa), a qualidade da internet não é muito boa. Sei que a saudade é recíproca e que uma viagem dessas faria muito bem às duas. Infelizmente a exclusão social histórica por que passa o povo de nosso país não permite que uma moradora da favela que trabalhou sua vida inteira, inclusive para criar a neta e transformá-la nessa pessoa amada por tanta gente que a Monique é, não tem condições financeiras de pagar uma passagem como essa.
Se cada um de nós, amigos (mas também conhecidos, amigos dos amigos e amigos dos conhecidos) da Monique, contribuirmos com o que pudermos (pode ser pouco se você só puder pouco, ou muito se você puder mais), a avó da Monique poderia ir passar uns dias em Paris com sua neta querida.
O valor estabelecido é de uma passagem de ida e volta, Rio-Paris-Rio, em voos diretos (não acho uma boa ideia a avó da Monique fazer conexões em aeroportos europeus). Um vez conseguido esse valor, haverá outros gastos com solicitação de passaporte, seguro-saúde (exigido pelos países da comunidade de Schengen da qual a França faz parte), entre outros. Porém, uma vez com a passagem em mãos, creio que esses obstáculos se tornarão menores, e os parentes mais próximos da avó, também residentes na Favela da Coroa, poderão provavelmente se mobilizar.
Muito obrigado pela sua atenção e generosidade.
Atenção: para não criarmos expectativas, nem a Monique, nem a avó foram informadas sobre esse projeto. Deixemos para fazê-lo, todos juntos, quando atingirmos o valor necessário. Também não postem no Facebook, nem comentem na página do da fundrazr com sua conta do FB, pois aparece tudo automaticamente no FB (isso aconteceu comigo e com uma doadora). No FB, me ajudem a espalhar a campanha, sobretudo pros amigos da Monique, mas só por mensagem privada por enquanto.
HELLO!
I’m a friend of Monique’s and I’m raising money to buy a plane ticket for Dulcineia, Monique’s grandmother, to visit her in Paris. Dulcineia is Monique’s closest relative, and probably her most beloved.
With a lot of determination (and a European Union scholarship that made the determination feasible), Monique left Rio de Janeiro in 2011 to study in Europe. She’s on an Erasmus Mundus Masters program, through which she has studied in universities in Padova, Leuven (Belgium) and now the Sorbonne in Paris. The focus of her Masters is Local Sustainable Development, and in particular the creative potential of Rio’s favelas.
Communication between Dulcineia and Monique has been minimal. By skype, it’s quite limited, seeing as Dulcineia lives in Rio’s Favela da Coroa, where the quality of the Internet connection is not that great. I know that the two of them really miss each other and that such a trip would do them both wonders. Unfortunately, the social exclusion afflicting the people of our country is such that it impedes the inhabitant of a favela, who has worked hard her whole life, not least in order to raise her granddaughter Monique to be the wonderful person so many of us love, and Dulcineia doesn’t have the financial wherewithal to pay for such a trip.
If each friend of Monique’s (or acquaintances, friends of friends and friends of acquaintances), were able to contribute with what they can manage (it can be a small amount or a larger amount, if you’re able), then Dulcineia can go and spend some days in Paris with her much loved granddaughter.
The target for this campaign is the price of a return ticket (direct) Rio-Paris-Rio, as I don’t think it would be a good idea for Dulcineia to have big layovers in European airports. Once we’ve reached this target amount, there’ll be other costs, such as applying for a passport, travel insurance (required by the countries of the Schengen community, of which France is a member), amongst others. However, once Dulcineia has the plane ticket, I believe these other obstacles will seem smaller, and Dulcineia’s close relatives, also residents of the Favela da Coroa, should be able to band together.
Thank you for your attention and generosity.
Note: In order to not get any hopes up, neither Monique nor Dulcineia have been informed of this campaign. Let’s leave it to tell them – all of us together – when we’ve reached the necessary target amount. Please also don’t post this on Facebook, or comment on the Fundrazr page with your FB account (it seems to appear automatically on FB – this happened to me and to another donor). On FB, please help me spread the campaign, in particular to Monique’s friends, but only by private message for now.
BONJOUR !
Je suis un ami de Monique. J’essaie actuellement de lever des fonds pour acheter un billet d’avion à sa grand-mère et qu’elle puisse venir lui rendre visite à Paris. Dona Dulcineia, est la parente la plus proche, et sans doute la aimée, de Monique.
Avec beaucoup de détermination (et une bourse d’étude de l’Union européenne pour concrétiser tout cela), Monique a quitté Rio de Janeiro pour venir étudier en Europe en 2011. Elle est déjà passée par les universités de Padoue et de Bruxelles grâce à ce programme qui s’appelle Erasmus Mundus. Elle étudie maintenant à l’université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Son thème d’études est, grosso modo, le développement local durable (surtout des favelas de Rio).
La communication entre Dona Dulcineia et sa petite fille, Monique, est devenue très difficile. Skype ne fonctionne pas bien, surtout depuis le lieu où vit la grand-mère (la favela da Coroa), où la connexion internet est assez mauvaise. Je sens qu’elles se manquent beaucoup, et que pouvoir se retrouver leur ferait beaucoup de bien. Malheureusement, l’exclusion sociale historique dont souffre une partie de notre population ne permet pas qu’une habitante des favelas ayant travaillé toute sa vie (notamment pour élever sa petite-fille et faire de Monique la personne que tant de monde apprécie) puisse s’offrir un tel voyage.
Si chacun d’entre nous – amis mais aussi connaissances, amis d’amis et de connaissances de Monique – contribuait à la hauteur de ses moyens (les aides, petites comme grandes sont toutes les bienvenues), la grand-mère de Monique pourrait aller passer quelques jours à Paris avec sa petite-fille adorée.
L’idée est d’acheter un billet d’avion pour un aller-retour direct entre Rio et Paris (faire faire des correspondances à la grand-mère de Monique ne me semble pas une bonne idée). Une fois le billet d’avion acheté, il y aura aussi d’autres frais, comme la demande de passeport et l’attestation d’assurance (exigée par les pays membres de l’espace Shengen, dont la France fait partie). Mais je crois qu’une fois ce billet en main, ces obstacles paraîtront plus facilement franchissables, et les parents les plus proches de la grand-mère (également résidents de la favela da Coroa) pourront sûrement se mobiliser.
Je vous remercie d’avance pour votre attention et votre générosité.
P.S : attention, pour ne pas créer des expectatives, ni Monique ni sa grand-mère ne sont au courant de ce projet. Nous attendrons d’avoir obtenu la somme nécessaire pour les informer. Ne postez-pas non plus cette annonce sur facebook, ou ne commentez pas la page de Fundrz car tout est publié automatiquement sur facebook (ça m’est arrivé ainsi qu’à une donatrice). Pouvez-vous m’aider à diffuser cette mobilisation auprès des amis de Monique avant tout, mais seulement par message privé?
