One thing is to know a person by name and reference... but another is to know about their stories and experiences. As we know, the major force that drives our project are the students, who are residents of Pirambu. We feel that it is important for them to take a different look at their neighborhood, in order to recognize it as a symbol of great struggle, resistance and strength. With the idea of growing ties, and strengthening our love and affection for Pirambu, we thought - almost a requirement of the project - was a necessary introduction of the history of this neighborhood.
One of our greatest friends of the project - "Junior" - was and is a person of great strength and respect in the neighborhood. We asked him to tell us a little about the history of the neighborhood and its origin. Junior, who invited us to attend this presentation in his house this past Tuesday (July 27/de), talked a little about the origin of the name Pirambu (name of a fish) and told some stories of his life, family and friends who have lived in this community .
A big surprise was to see people arrive during the slide show. Aryton Baker, another great leader of this community. Aryton, also known as the lawyer of the poor, is a man who since his youth has been fighting against injustices and harsh conditions found in this neighborhood.
Like Junior, Ayrton and other friends spent a time of youth to live in the poorest section of Pirambu and fight for better living conditions.
Another thing that caught our attention, was the many open mouths and attentive eyes, listening in awe of the reports of our guests. As expected, this presentation was a great success, and we now have an even greater reason to lift our chests and say we live in ... Pirambu!
