In the country of football, at the moment when Brazil is rising, is unbelievable to see people suffering hungry and thirsty.
On north east of Brazil, there are people who don’t have water to drink, cooking, having shower, nor even to water plants. They haven’t seen any rain for about a year.
There are animals dying, there isn’t even a sprout of grass to feed them. People living just to see their animals ending. Rivers and dams totally draw an image tragic and regrettable. Meanwhile the government spends billions on construction and renovation of football stadiums.
Is that true football is more necessary than water? Is absolutely unacceptable in a country like Brazil to exist so different situations so close to each other.
They just want water and better conditions to live and work. They have the right and the government forgot it, maybe if the government tried to invest part of this money in infrastructure and information to the region this situation could change or at least improve.
It’s important to call the attention of the government and the world for problems that cause so much destruction, and could be so easy to solve if people just stop to look at themselves and look the country as a whole.
