.Profile.
.
...
| My full
name is Fabiola Ferreira Oliveira, I’m twenty six years old and I’m
from Sao Paulo, Brasil. |
.
...
| Although Sao Paulo was a very interesting
city to live, with lots of movies, theaters, restaurants and a large diversity
of cultural things stem from the immigrants from around the world and from
Brazilians from other regions, I was never completely happy because I wanted
to know more about how life of these “foreign” people is in their original
places. That’s the reason why I like travelling so much, why I like getting
to know other cultures and why I decided to do my Bachelor and Master out
of Sao Paulo city. |
...
| I graduated in Biology from the Federal
University of Sao Carlos in 2003 and after this I got my Master in Ecology
at the University of Brasília. In the same time I travelled to many places
in Brazil and participated at a social environmental program that made
me think more about the social differences. |
...
| At a scientific congress I got to
know Gerhard, now my husband, who is German and also likes travelling and
knowing other cultures and people. |
.
..
| And during our travel across Latin
America I noticed that social problems are bigger than I had imagined and
exist all around the world. |
.
| Currently I live in Hanover, Germany.
I like Germany, especially because security in the streets is higher compared
to Brazil. Exactly because I am in a place with fewer social problems,
I felt the necessity to do something against poverty and for equality,
friendship and justice. One form I’ve found to help was to use my knowledge
of the languages Portuguese, English, German and Spanish in some of my
free time for translations for NGOs and programs with social and environmental
purposes, like Community Empowerment Collective for which I translate with
pleasure into German and into Portuguese. |
.
| Apart from volunteering, in my free
time I like reading, swimming, cycling and travelling. |
