“Obrigado minhas amigas por aqui estarem e por colaborarem nesta festa. Não podemos fazer nada sem a vossa ajuda. Obrigado”. Estas as palavras emocionadas de Maria da Glória Andrade, uma açoriana da Vila de Rabo de Peixe, que fez de uma perca pessoal uma marcha de vitória, quando decidiu há onze anos reunir várias centenas de mulheres, sob o lema da Dia das Amigas, numa iniciativa de solidariedade para com as crianças que sofrem de cancro.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSTHUjcVpe7Z0lbRI6LUoF3qLGWPSOlmpdNXBDyDSl9ZYzsejl1Y_nWW9Rb3Y7mgx5qNs-3GlEqp8Aq5gaOm1bS_aZqYmjAb1gDF8yq6-4Y6uMBh0PhhxL8X44lvWvQmofOvjcIWIRGl-/s1600/P1130992.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; width=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSTHUjcVpe7Z0lbRI6LUoF3qLGWPSOlmpdNXBDyDSl9ZYzsejl1Y_nWW9Rb3Y7mgx5qNs-3GlEqp8Aq5gaOm1bS_aZqYmjAb1gDF8yq6-4Y6uMBh0PhhxL8X44lvWvQmofOvjcIWIRGl-/s320/P1130992.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Este ano foram mais de oitocentas as mulheres, que se juntaram no salão da Local 183 para um jantar de angariação de fundos que vão reverter a favor do “Sick Kids Hospital Foundation” mais concretamente o departamento de cancro pediátrico&lt;br /&gt;
A causa, que anualmente leva estas amigas a reunirem-se, é a da investigação do cancro infantil, que mata anualmente 250 crianças num total de 14 mil casos no Canadá.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_19WWUH1anuEHBwacBLQuvnCvYqHNyqVFr6t2KCXiHqcNpliC966GhyphenhyphenCKPRnTDUFFOEu-VprFsVSU0Rmrt9hyphenhyphen7TCp7XwUikCW_tmiD4g7VypiHqNwRCMap3BJY_am1mn-3ELuZ13vAhgi/s1600/P1130980.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; width=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_19WWUH1anuEHBwacBLQuvnCvYqHNyqVFr6t2KCXiHqcNpliC966GhyphenhyphenCKPRnTDUFFOEu-VprFsVSU0Rmrt9hyphenhyphen7TCp7XwUikCW_tmiD4g7VypiHqNwRCMap3BJY_am1mn-3ELuZ13vAhgi/s320/P1130980.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Em entrevista ao jornal o Sol, St. Michael afirma ser “através de eventos como este que o “Sick Kids” sobrevive. Toda a pesquisa é financiada por acções deste género. O “Sick Kids” é o mais reputado hospital no Canadá e no mundo no campo do cancro pediátrico. Muito daquilo que se consegue no combate ao cancro nas crianças acontece graças a eventos deste tipo. Sem eles muito do que é feito não teria possibilidade de se realizar”, disse ainda Mary Ann St. Michael.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Up7PWZsBBo_b-Jt0wDhMhMoULUdUtHSMjRK1imO56neyOGv6d_jXIL2ENtDJuRs5o5leWkaJAtKTgQuom72rKUc32mB4IY2MoaPw2HJhwJrGdrNQFYT3O7v31PShoGnWtF-x81NHFLdt/s1600/Amigas.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Up7PWZsBBo_b-Jt0wDhMhMoULUdUtHSMjRK1imO56neyOGv6d_jXIL2ENtDJuRs5o5leWkaJAtKTgQuom72rKUc32mB4IY2MoaPw2HJhwJrGdrNQFYT3O7v31PShoGnWtF-x81NHFLdt/s320/Amigas.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“Eventos desta natureza são por isso muito importantes para a nossa fundação, que depende muito de doações de particulares,” concluiu St. Michael.&lt;br /&gt;
Esta Festa das Amigas organizada por Maria Andrade “começou com um encontro de amigas na igreja de Santa Cruz”. Com o passar dos anos e a adesão de muitas outras mulheres portuguesas e de diversas outras nacionalidades, a sala da Igreja mostrou ser pequena demais para albergar todas as amigas, que desejavam abraçar esta causa. &lt;br /&gt;
Em mais um ano, elas continuaram a tradição do Dia das Amigas, a qual emigrou com Maria Andrade uma emigrante da Vila de Rabo de Peixe, para se instalar no coração de muitas mulheres canadianas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht-fZrBSEqLpfVzKLRy5_wrKlVVWCiTBZnmW4VVBqe-OiDwMY9dt3e49E2b55icQKwKqZwGsLNLCNbaDD3iGjZF-7PsnbbIiX2FMj9WkVEDGM1Sj1YjKL-WQhKG4k2ljHdDOS1NEjXLwAm/s1600/P1130951.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;180&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht-fZrBSEqLpfVzKLRy5_wrKlVVWCiTBZnmW4VVBqe-OiDwMY9dt3e49E2b55icQKwKqZwGsLNLCNbaDD3iGjZF-7PsnbbIiX2FMj9WkVEDGM1Sj1YjKL-WQhKG4k2ljHdDOS1NEjXLwAm/s320/P1130951.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“Comecei a fazer a festa em 2000. O meu marido morreu de cancro e prometi fazer. Comecei a dar ao Hospital “Princess Margareth”, mas agora dou ao “Sick Kids”. Para fazer esta festa ajuda-me a minha família entre filhos e filhas noras e genros e a senhora Gabriela.&lt;br /&gt;
Muitas pessoas deixam os seus lugares reservados de um ano para o outro e depois faço sempre um anúncio duas semanas antes do evento. Em 2013 vamos fazê-lo no dia 9 de Fevereiro.”&lt;br /&gt;
A festa já transbordou assim o universo português e como diz Maria Andrade já temos mulheres canadianas, italianas e de outros grupos étnicos.&lt;br /&gt;
“Uma amiga traz outra amiga e por isso quero agradecer a todas as minhas amigas, pois sem elas não podia fazer esta festa”, remata Maria Andrare já a pensar no evento de 2013.&lt;br /&gt;
As mulheres participam também com ofertas para serem rifadas e produtos para venda, nomeadamente joalharia com uma percentagem a reverter a favor da iniciativa.&lt;br /&gt;
A festa foi muito animada pela noite dentro. Fátima Martins foi levando a noite com a sua boa disposição como MC. O serão contou com música e dança ao som dos artistas Rui Furtado, Mário Marinho, Conjunto “Unique Touch” e Fernando Correia Marques.&lt;br /&gt;

Com o período de candidaturas aberto até 10 de Novembro, deram entrada até ao momento quatro propostas. Sheila Copps, Ron Hartling, Mike Crawley, todos eles do Ontário.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;&quot;Eu sou a única candidata pelo Quebeque, completamente bilingue e canadiana da primeira geração&quot;, enalteceu à Lusa Alexandra Mendes, que justificou de seguida a sua decisão.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;&quot;Lancei-me neste desafio com a intenção clara de participar activamente na reconstrução e redinamização necessárias para que o Partido Liberal do Canadá volte a ser a força viva política que soube representar durante mais de um século&quot;, justificou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;A ex-deputada em Otava que com este projecto vinca a vontade de estar politicamente activa ao mais alto nível, frisou o que a moveu igualmente é a recusa de uma ideia de Partido Liberal terá perdido razão de existência no panorama político canadiano, tendo em conta a arrasadora derrota que obteve nas últimas legislativas federais, em que pela primeira vez deixou de ser o partido de alternância no Poder, ao tornar-se na terceira força política no país.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;Alexandra Mendes foi declarada eleita deputada federal pelo círculo de Brossard-La Prairie nas eleições gerais de 2008, após ganhar o recurso de impugnação da contagem de votos. Porém, nas últimas legislativas federais, decorridas a 2 de Maio passado, os 24% dos votos depositados para Alexandra Mendes no seu círculo não foram suficientes para ser reeleita, ficando mesmo longe dos 41% granjeados pelo novo deputado eleito Hoang Mai.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGkrsMvLGG6Z3M5CRkXOmQXIUvUheC0opZQ-krWdWXf844-aFdZxYQy2WnLkyhvp1Q8AsyDVKhsGS2maPYUayQe9hS_yKlj2jwV2Y4f6hpPRAWNC1-Gex35bo7b7v2l-Lv2EypVszakrxh/s1600/Alexandra+Mendes21.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGkrsMvLGG6Z3M5CRkXOmQXIUvUheC0opZQ-krWdWXf844-aFdZxYQy2WnLkyhvp1Q8AsyDVKhsGS2maPYUayQe9hS_yKlj2jwV2Y4f6hpPRAWNC1-Gex35bo7b7v2l-Lv2EypVszakrxh/s400/Alexandra+Mendes21.jpg&quot; width=&quot;266&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;&quot;A derrota que vivi nas eleições de Maio foi um golpe difícil de digerir, particularmente quando observo as muito reais ameaças de um governo maioritário conservador à nossa vivência democrática e à identificação como Canadianos&quot;, desabafou a ex-deputada nascida em Lisboa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;Afirmando-se preocupada com o actual governo conservador em Otava, Alexandra Mendes comentou a situação vivida no Canadá e em Portugal. &quot;Como canadiana de origem portuguesa, sinto que ambos os &quot;meus&quot; países vivem horas de grandes debates de identidade, provocados pela crise económica, mas vindos de uma fonte de insatisfação popular profunda e que é urgente que a encaremos de frente&quot;, salientou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;Segundo defende, &quot;as questões de estabilidade económica só poderão encontrar resposta quando soubermos realmente que tipo de sociedade queremos deixar aos nossos filhos: uma sociedade justa, de oportunidade, durabilidade e de prosperidade iguais para todos os seus cidadãos ou sociedades de &quot;cada um por si&quot;, com governos que só querem poder sem aceitar os enormes desafios de governar&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Económico com Lusa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

.&quot;A relação com os jovens aprofundou-se e muitos decidiram juntar-se a nós. Por isso temos mais juventude nesta direcção e em posições de destaque, o que é realmente importante&quot; destacou Olga Rodrigues.&lt;br /&gt;
Nesta nova direcção é possível notar uma maior percentagem de mulheres em órgãos decisórios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;“Mulheres nesta organização em lugares de direcção eram muito poucas. Esta é uma realidade que começamos a mudar. Os homens nesta colectividade estão à vontade com esta mudança e dizem mesmo que chegou a altura. As mulheres tiveram sempre um papel importante mas sempre na retaguarda. Mudar tal requer também muita coragem por parte delas próprias.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;A sua passagem pela Casa das Beiras não foi desprovida de dificuldades e desafios, muitos já ultrapassados.

Quando começamos nestas organizações não temos no início uma ideia clara do que cada uma das posições numa direcção exige ou espera de nós.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Be sure that there will be&amp;nbsp;music everywhere and the smallest of the children you encounter will be moving their hips and dancing to the merengue and&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;the bachata. The country is very sensual and I dared to say very sexual.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The moves, the looks and the sounds are definitely very sexual. As a young women put it when questioned why at 19 she was a single mother with&amp;nbsp;one child and another on the way., the answer was simple: &amp;nbsp;mucho merenge, marijuana, praias calientes...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;A great number of girls work in the resorts, ten to twelve hours a day. But it is their way out and a light into the future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

English is not mandatory in schools, unfortunately in a country that relies on tourism. Many go to private schools to learn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Over the past years however, many non-profit organizations have established themselves in the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;country-region&gt;&lt;place&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Dominican Republic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/place&gt;&lt;/country-region&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;and these have greatly assisted in providing the necessary amenities &lt;span class=&quot;googqs-tidbitgoogqs-tidbit-0&quot;&gt;for underprivileged children to take advantage of the school system.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; Private citizens and foreign residents have also started various programs throughout the island to further help the less fortunate families in sending their kids to school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two-year intermediate school and a four-year secondary follow primary education, however the system caters more to the middle and upper class and therefore a large majority of Dominicans will not reach this level.&amp;nbsp; Even at this rate though, over 85% of the population is literate.¨&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Many boys and girls cannot go to school because they do not have birth certificates &lt;/span&gt;— and many drop out before reaching high school. Even when we do go to school, it’s very difficult to find a job in the community so that we can put our education to use, say some youth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Be careful with the mosquitoes and drink lots of water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;But be aware of your surroundings, bring candy and school supplies for the kids. If you choose a monster truck safari adventure, make sure the crew does not drink &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;alcohol&lt;/span&gt; the way they did in my trip (except the driver, the reason why I kept going), and make sure they are less noisy and be more specific on the history and customs of the place. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A big part of travel is that feeling you get when experiencing something completely new, something you haven&#39;t seen or done before. Many travel destinations offer an amenity or two that other places don&#39;t -- but there are only a few locations in the world that offer a truly unique experience.&lt;br /&gt;
Some of these places are wonders of nature -- a spot where the flora or fauna can&#39;t be found elsewhere, or where the mountains stretch the landscape to impressive formations. Other destinations are unique because of man-made features -- entire islands created out of sand, underwater museums designed to decay, or hotels shaved from ice.&lt;br /&gt;
Hot or cold, undeveloped or overly elaborate, these locations offer something you can&#39;t get anywhere else, which is as good a reason as any to plan a trip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cd941f;&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;right&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/tr/unique/azores.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Azores&lt;/h3&gt;Explore the dramatic natural beauty and bounty of crater lakes in this collection of nine volcanic islands in the middle of the North Atlantic. Portuguese by language, it has a culture and cuisine all its own. Feast on the geothermally heated hotpots called cozido das furnas, which consist of mixtures of meats and stews and are a feature of the area near Sao Miguel.&lt;br /&gt;

In New York, a three-year pilot that gave parents money to take their children to the dentist or paid children for good attendance — up to $50 a month — saw no improvements in grades or attendance. High school students who were already doing well did better on standardized tests and earned more credits, but those who were falling behind saw no gains.
