That’s right, I’m the son of an immigrant.
the Senegalese who chose Spain to
to call my 30-year-old emigrant
He lives in Spain today.
then surely you will ask me
Why did you choose here because you
was spanish
I chose here, it’s not me but how
other immigrants
thousands of immigrants now living in
Brazil
I have a reason enough to
To choose Brazil to live one of them
I’m leaving, leaving my country to come here.
center alone makes a good choice
I thought ‘ one of the Brazil’s choices’
historically it is a welcoming country
clear at the time ecoles immigrants
Europeans and Asians so many others
today was no different when
choosing my Senegalese countrymen
Haitian has given so many
This is one of the reasons I chose Brazil.
another motive
I arrived in 2008 at the time, Brazil
the world was good and economically
was in crisis is one of the few countries
who was treading the crisis is Brazil
and if this also one of the reasons to Brazil
I have always admired this country as measuring the
that he has of races cultures and
universities the barriers with
sure are so many
so many I think each of
Can you imagine
Today you arrive on the scene and I’m speechless.
different language or culture
customs are different religions are
different then for sure all this
will be a fire barrier that can
to work
I remember when I arrived in Brazil.
In 2008, safety as observed is a
Very funny story, same time.
it serves to reflect
I arrived you have not only what is
Portuguese I’ve never heard of but never
I heard that you want Portuguese.
so I arrived at the hotel the next day
asked the girl that I want to go to
center to visit to try to see if
I’m going to meet someone in my land.
there took the taxi took a taxi was in the
center when I arrived downtown
I took advantage
I had in my pocket many dollars there
I exchanged dollars and real and gave ‘s Fine
money a button in my head was already
so rich
I’ve already arrived, you ‘re a millionaire.
many of these monies were
real at the time had that she had not
green and a real one and I put it in the bag was
dial up I ended up spending in the center on
same day that I could not spend
I arrived at the hotel as the the hill to
I got in the reception girl’s room
He called me said it has sent as
days to pay and said
while I did it because I did not
spoke Portuguese
Then she tried to explain what I have to
pay
the most a few days I took interesting
little money I had
came from day
She says no, this is not enough in this.
I could not understand anything at all.
and said my god
So I’m leaving here to find someone who
helps me in the interpretation, besides not
had enough money to make me
who does not understand what she was
Speaking
she left a taxi driver called
that he speaks French arrived as
that she bonjo glory to God
today my god I’m going to say
they tried to explain accesses that
money I have is not enough
to pay two more days at the hotel
so the beginning of a big battle ends
on that day sleep on the street
unfortunately because of the language already
we do not understand now it comes to mind
2 days ago then the countryman who was
in the bank to open bank account
that’s when he came to open the safe
banking password I missed put as
he asked to be serious about
understanding was the signature that
He has to vote, he asked for the pen.
girl
I did it, I like it, it shows what goes
do with it he does not want to understand it
so do not show then for this you tried
explain with this is not do not park the
taking is serious
they just came looking for me I arrived
I explained that, my god they never
word that works the shift and
signature he put the show he put
in place in the series the signature then
this is very thousands of other examples
and funny that I can tell that
usually the language here that works
the president of the association of
senegaleses today in porto alegre
Do you know that this gang gets started?
coming from 2008 but the largest
part of them in 2012 here
so in the meantime I was already
here with some more migrants
We think when there’s someone better.
to help share these immigrants
In this, not only do we create a
association that now has 700
members in porto alegre
so we work in the help of
housing and education and we try and
in the labor market and unfortunately
we know that today the labor market
not very supportive but in our own way
We were turning around and there are some who
have not been able to acquire in the
work to survive loop it goes
in the informal market
so this is a fact of only you
experienced no further options from anyone
I do not think anyone notices did not want to and
You will never want to work informally.
running after the inspections risks
safety is to be mistreated.
daily no one would not like it then
if someone does the role of doing this you
you can be sure most of the time
this option is the part of culture house
before work acts strongly because
we can not leave the culture you know
sure the African cultural and
of the richest cultures I said then
in this we always organize events
cultural
Let’s go to school and we also act show
what is our culture because in my
understanding in understanding the
Association
many people complain to
presence of immigrants due to lack of
knowledge because if you do not know it
someone will end up judging that she
people is really the least
knowledge so to shoot for
take this barrier
we work from time to time in
explaining to the children who
are we here ourselves was to make
here is what we have in the luggage because
we are not here are and go every one
from us
some have professional qualification of
higher level some of us have
tea culture in our future if we have
much laughter cultures very rich that
people can offer Brazilian teacher
the sometimes we organized some
albums between us to talk
primarily because if we are
to take our border in our
front
the last time we agent
we organized was even spent a lunch
We invite people of age he
psychic help and a few more
people most in need of lunch
along with our to enjoy and
really explaining our presence
in this country to donate blood and
when we organize some
donations of blood to doha
So that’s all our work is.
last Saturday we also received
religious leader who also our most
95% of Senegalese population on Muslims
so our very strong and this part
Revision is leading us always comes
here to talk at night or as our
but the Brazilian community is legal
is also the Senegalese cuisine is a
of the richest cuisines in
Earth
maybe unknown here but if it is oo
today in europe mainly in france
they admire very much admire the food
typical Senegalese that is dominated
by the aol bean rice
close the moon’s favorite sport
guys the fight tradition is to finish
I’ll let you talk ah
if any reflection can you can
take all immigration to life
Senegal is not forever forever.
It is the time that will pass from here to
some years no longer talk about migration
will be the galera including most of
Senegalese we are here forever
he intends to one day return by changing
country and if you have the opportunity to
a country some 95% Senegalese
they are old here
more than 25 years of productive age
many of them have exceptional education and
because they did not take advantage of this
pass on a Senegalese street selling
for a minute of the hug asked with
open as a certain thing that goes
to do well and will do good for him
forever
is a little easier access to
You difference because I who I am
saying this is only the world is us to be
human created a barrier but god did not create
the barreiro did not say Senegalese
Brazilian in your name
then this barrier can be overthrown
Why not
who knocked over who could overthrow this
barrier I’m going, Caesar, we can not have
prejudice and race origin which
It’s a similar thing because it’s
world to the world today it’s the way it is
because of this if we had no barrier
It sure would be better then I go
leave this tip to you and we are
noe will here because at the time we had
voice and forced sound of niro then today
people live as free will race to
Brazil that is a country to host
we never talked
Brazil a country that rejects immigrants
today we know that today are
living a boom in the world in crisis
and here, thanks to you, our
say that
So, thanks again for the
opportunity
our Portuguese in one of the best
We try to talk the way we can.
This is it, thank you, guys.
