Mozambique: el dilema de la corrupción en la cooperación africana

Nothing in this post a fascinating story of my trip. There is a special night where I heard many voices that narrate here. I was used to learn a lot, I hope that you would also serve. He told about it so unworthy of a toll as necessary, as nauseating as essential. A dead end? By Javier Brandoli.

For: Javier Brandoli (text and photos)

The woman from my balcony is just a story I see from my window. A woman, like so many here, living on the street, keeping your belongings in a culvert and waiting for her life consumed. Took a year looking at what makes "women from my balcony".
