Do you know this place, Brazil?

The country named after a tree. The country with a huge garden. The country made of people form all over the world. The country where good morning is always a hug. The country that dodges daily adversities with humor and creativity. The country that sings, dances and wants to be happy. We are indigenous, we are black, we are white, we are brown, we are natives, we are outsiders, we are Brazilians.

Climate changes and exhaustion of the world’s natural resources demand out undivided attention, and the Olympic Opening Ceremony is a great opportunity to shed a light on the subject. Brazil, with the world’s biggest forest and natural biodiversity, is the right place to get this message across.
