I won the tickets to Marron´s 5 concert. It was a "show-case". Nobody bought tickets.

They did something in Mexico las year, right? I remember seeing the pictures.

I love pianos...I used to play. But I don´t have time anymore. I think they are so beautiful and perfect. :)

Hey guys, you all know know about Make Trade Fair, but did you know that it came to Brazil? Yeah! :D Last week, in São Paulo. They came for the United Nations Conference on Trade And Development (UNCTAD), where the dicussed about many things, Fair Trade, specially. Take a look: From maketradefair.com Can trade work for the poor? The challenge for UNCTAD XI From 13-18 June 2004, Oxfam’s Amy Barry will be attending the eleventh United Nations Conference on Trade And Development (UNCTAD). Here she explains what it’s all about. The Brazilian city of Sao Paulo is from 13-18 June 2004 host to representatives from 192 member states, more than 200 non-governmental organisations and a host of international bodies at the eleventh United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. They will take part in a week of discussion and debate on a plethora of trade and development issues, ranging from coffee to corporate social responsibility, globalisation to gas reserves, maize to market access. The aim of this year's conference is to explore how developing countries can protect their own economic interests and industries while at the same time participate in and benefit from globalisation and the growth in world trade. UNCTAD was created forty years ago as a forum for the promotion of trade and development policies that help poor countries. It sits in Geneva and meets every four years to review policy and priorities. Now more than ever, UNCTAD and the research it carries out are sorely needed. There is a crisis in world trade. As globalisation gathers apace, the majority of poor countries are missing out on their share of the benefits. While the rich grow richer, six of the ten poorest countries in the world are less prosperous than they were twenty years ago. This is a lot to do with the fact that they are reliant on exports of basic commodities, like coffee, cotton and cocoa, prices of which have plummeted in the last decade. It is also because they are trapped in a world trade system where the rules are rigged in favour of the rich. The World Trade Organisation (WTO) makes most of the rules that determine how countries trade with each other. But talks at the WTO have been stalled since the ministerial summit in Cancún in September 2004, when the refusal of rich country governments to deliver on reforms they had promised led to a stalemate that has yet to be overcome. But while WTO talks remain stagnant, UNCTAD XI offers a vital opportunity to stimulate debate and inject a sense of urgency into considerations of reform. It also gives developing countries a chance to have their say in a more open and equal environment than the WTO. Chief among the issues to be addressed in Sao Paulo is the crisis in commodities that is keeping so many people poor and depriving them of income security. UNCTAD XI should also tackle the continuing iniquity of rich country agricultural subsidies and export dumping that undermines farming in the developing world. Around the world, almost 900 million people live on less than $1 a day. Trade could be an instrument to lift these people out of poverty but much needs to be done before this becomes possible. UNCTAD can and should lead the way in calling for the necessary changes. " Make Trade Fair is an amazing non-governmental organization. It´s important to act, do something to reduce this uniquality. There are many meets around the world, but they never really care. They just speak-up and complain. And it´s good to know that my favourite band support it! http://www.maketradefair.com
