While I went from school to school I made connections with the directors I interviewed. I asked them if they had a message for ASID. ASID is a non-profit that partners up with public schools that serve people with all types of disabilities. Their intentions are to help staff improve their skills in teaching and...

A big part of my apprenticeship was a film project. I went to partnered schools and interviewed the directors about the impact ASID has had on them. Here is one of the videos I got to put together before my laptop broke down.

An Homage to R3 Animal

Zoe Barnes

2016-04-02

Yesterday, April 1, was my last day working at R3 Animal. Yesterday, it hit me that this is the end. I’d be lying to say there weren’t numerous times throughout the past seven months I thought about the month of April, the month I’d be going home. Moreover, I’d be lying to say there weren’t...

Já são quase sete meses de eu estar marando em Paranaguá e numa semana estarei indo embora para meu país natal Panamá. Foram sete meses de muitas alegrias e também de momentos muito difíceis, mas o mais importante é que conheci pessoas maravilhosas que fizeram desta experiência algo muito especial. Primeiramente quero agradecer as quatro...

Belo LitoralOh! Bela Paranaguá Deus boas vindas Aos colonizadores do Paraná. Bela Cidade Cultural Já virou herança nacional. O fandango é uma festa incomumIgual a este não existe nenhum. Rodeada por manguezaisQue neles vivem vários animais. Garças, peixes e caranguejos, São esses que me lembro de lampejo. O porto trabalha a mil Importando e exportando por navios. Lá param vários cargueirosMas nenhum de passageiro. Pessoas são alegresSem...

   My seventh month in Brazil is drawing to a close. When I look back to our orientation at Tufts and arriving in Brazil to meet the other Global Citizen Year fellows, it seems like a lifetime ago. I am having trouble grasping the fact that is two short weeks I will be leaving my...

Home Stretch

As I move into my last month in Brazil, I struggle. I struggle when people ask me if I am excited to go home because this has become my home. I have routines here, I have friends here, I have a family that takes care of me. I guess I’ve just become accustomed to living...

Rehearsing

2016-03-17

It’s all a process. My host brother is in a band and I was able to attend one of their rehearsals recently. I’d already been to some of their shows and heard the final product, but that’s not how it starts. Over and over and over again, they play the same song, switching tiny pieces...
