She is a role model to me, because she does something extraordinarily difficult because she believes in it. And it is not easy to do these projects independently, as a woman, and in the face of people who will tell you that you are wasting your time. Tatiana, thank you for inspiring me and showing me that I too can achieve my dreams of doing social photography if I believe in myself.

Smith Fri, 09 Sep 2005 19:56:22 +0000 http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/globalvoices/?p=1909#comment-3172 What Tatiana Cardeal is actively doing in Brazil is what very few middle-class Brazilians would even think of doing. "Let's just get on with our lives and leave all the rest to the others!" is a far too common attitude in this otherwise so incredibly wealthy melting pot of peoples and cultures, where most people are simply running a gigantic rat race of survival and where its leaders offer so very bad models (although I still believe in Lula, but as with all good political leaders, he also depends on having confident and ethical people around him, which is certainly not that easy to find in this country). So, what hope then does the rest of the population have if we are to depend on the government for change? No! It will be the collective actions of people like Tatiana Cardeal and other reflected minds like hers, who realize that there must be some way of making this country the paradise it could be for all of its citizens, rich and poor alike! Thanks for mentioning our program in this article Tatiana, I appreciate your kind of person understanding the value of our last 12 years of extremely difficult but solid investment in the forsaken people of this society. If it has been possible for us to turn around the lives of those individuals we have touched with our work, then it is certainly possible that collective actions, from and by the people, will be able to turn around Brazil! If you are not already following Tatiana Cardeal's images on Flickr, I certainly recommend you start doing so, as from today! Give her all the support she deserves, it is by far the most truthful pathway to follow for a better understanding of the changes necessary, not only in Brazil, but also in many other countries of our Global village.
