Well, not exactly, but the Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Estética (the Brazilian Society of Asthetic Medicine) will offer free plastic surgery and beauty treatments in Rio de Janeiro from November 10th to November 19th, though only two hundred patients per day will be treated.

I just would like to see some caind of association like that one, doing something to suport education to brazilian women so that at least they can put some of the energy that they put on beauty for education, so we can have some respect on other
countries, besides been seem as just pretty women that know how to dance with little clothing!!!

Just to let you know I’ve been working with an NGO for just about 1 and a half year, in Santo Andre, SP, providing support for women who want to start/develop their own business. This was a FREE 3 months course, with a nice starting, aiming to develop entrepeneur skills. It was available for anyone, even if the woman was not literate. We also offered free pos course consultancy for 6-12 months.
We provided access to programs like Banco do Povo (loans with low interest); we assessed and accomplished step by step every single moment of the business, even when it meant looking after children to help these women to have some time to go to school.
So please, look at the good things some people are doing.
Let’s stop complaining about everything.
Even people without formal education want to get their self steem back and if they have access to free surgeries, let’s celebrate! It’s better than nothing. This money have fallen on wrong hands and be used for worse things.

I need to get surgery in Brazil, but I am only working class. Can someone help me find a place to get it done inexpensively? On a side note, I would love to live in and work in Brazil as well, if the chance ever came up.

Sounds a great offer.. but of course, only in Brazil and for those whose low in income and can afford to have cosmetic surgery…
