Obama no Brasil

Texto meu publicado e divulgado em Presidente Obama no Brasil:

"Mr Obama, at your election I said that I was a witness of a historical moment. When, in Brazil, we elected the first woman as president, I said that, regarding the proportions, Dilma's election was also a historical moment.

Keep on the changes. Good trip and welcome to Brazil."

Aproveito para divulgar a notícia que o Presidente Barak Obama inaugurou o Serviço Comunitário Interreligioso.

"Since his inauguration, President Obama has emphasized interfaith cooperation and community service – “interfaith service” for short – as an important way to build understanding between different communities and contribute to the common good.

Interfaith service involves people from different religious and non-religious backgrounds tackling community challenges together – for example, Protestants, Catholics, Muslims and Jews building a Habitat for Humanity house together across religious lines. Interfaith service impacts specific community challenges, from homelessness to mentoring to the environment, while building social capital and civility.

American colleges, community colleges, and universities have often been at the forefront of solving our nation’s greatest challenges. The White House is encouraging institutions of higher education to make the vision for interfaith cooperation a reality on campuses across the country.

The White House is launching the President’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge, an initiative inviting institutions of higher education to commit to a year of interfaith cooperation and community service programming on campus. This programming might take the form of campus Christian, Jewish, Muslim and secular student organizations implementing a specific year-long community service project. It might also involve students from a campus partnering with local religious groups to tackle a specific community challenge together."[White House]
