Then stop at an orange plantage. And we could try fresh fruits from the tree. Very delicious :) And Daniel got a 20 kg sac full of oranges. The next days he pressed pressed orange juice the hole day :)
At night Rotary meeting with Churrasco dinner and Samba dance lesson. It so funny and we really enjoyed! Thanks for the live music!

A relaxing day, sleep long, late breakfast and nearly two hours later already lunch in the German colony Graciosa district. It was a nice place with a little lake for fishing, some crazy ducks and sun shining so we just relaxed and enjoyed.
in the afternoon we joined an Interact / Rotaract meeting. The "little" Roatry Club for children and youth at the age of 14 to 30. Such a funny meeting, we had lots of fun and learned a new clap :) And we sang happy birthday in german for the president. She got 16. Parabèns! With Interact/Rotaract we went to a Pizzeria for dinner. We ordered about four or five different big pizzas to try each. Also with Chocolate Pizza!!!

Our first station in our todays program has been in the office of daily newspaper of Paranavaí (Diario do Noroeste). They made an interview and on the next day we have been in the newspaper - on the front page!! We are so FAMOUS ;)
The next stop was a Cooperativa, who separates recycling waste. It is stationed in a poor area of the city. The workers collect the waste - paper, cans, plastic and metal - on the streets, bring it to the recycling station and now the really hard work begins. To seperat it, to press it or repair it for selling. The big sacs of recycled waste will be selled to finance this work and warmer clothes because it is in a colder area so the conditions of working make it more worst than it arleady is. It was really emotional to see it! We had tears in our eyes. The Rotary Club help with non-financial donations of clothes, dishes and what else they need for better work conditions. They also have library - with books they found on the streets!
Then we drove to the Dialyse-Clinic (Clinic do Rim).
Lunch at our host families. I had the chance to eat with a former presidente :)
