Here are pictures from Abrac, the orphanage in Sao Paulo.

I love Plan Norway

Today a lady from Plan Norway called me at my cell phone. She said that it was possible for us to visit Plan in Bolivia. This is so fantastic. I love that organisation and have a dream to work there sometimes in the future. She asked me if I liked to write, and off course I said yes. Writing is so fantastic and I just love it. She asked if we would write a report from the day we are with Plan. Off course I said yes, and I look so forward to do this. With my own words I can describe what I see and do. I can tell the world about my meeting with these people and try to get people to understand how important it is to help. I hope Marita will join me with this, and that it can be a project we have together. The report will later be published in Plans magazine and at Internett. I didn’t think this trip could be any better, but every day I wake up to another fantastic news.

This is not good news

Bad news from Rio, our first stop. Yesterday criminal gang members went to attack the police. So far 18 people have been killed. Six people were burned to death when some gang members sat fire on the bus. Local media reports that the city has a war atmosphere. Next weekend we will be on a bus from Rio to Sao Paulo. I hope everything has calm down to then, and that we will travel safely.

Next Wednesday we are on our way to Brazil. It is so close now, and we cannot believe it. We have so much to do, but we have known idea how to get the extra time we need. It has just been Christmas, and Marita gave her boyfriend Rudi a ticket to Thailand. He is coming to visit us there the 6. of April. We look really forward to that.

The first picture is Linn and the second picture is Marita.

WOW, we cannot understand that its only 25 days left. We will really miss everyone back home, and we wish you all could join us and see the world from another point of view. It’s going to be so interesting to speak with all these different people, and listen to their stories about a hard and unfair life. We hope to bring a little bit happiness with us, and maybe some hope and faith for the future.

27 days left, we can’t understand it. One day we really look forward to this trip and another day we look at it with fare. It will be a challenge to be away from home so long, but also very educational. We will learn so much important about life and the value of living.

On Thursday I was talking with Tine on the phone from Orlando. It was so great to hear her voice again. I think she has a great experience over there, and I look so forward to meet her again. She has the plans ready for what we are going to do when we arrive Orlando. This is going to be four very busy days.

Yesterday Marita and I had a little Spanish lesson. I think we will understand a little bit in the different countries and be able to communicate. The Spanish language is so pretty, and I hope we will learn more of it among the road. We also made a list over what cloths, shoes and other stuff we will bring with us. This is so weird, because we will have lass with us now for almost four months, then two weeks vacation at the summer holidays.

Pictures and more information will come after the 3. of January. We will try to update our blog so often as possible.
