On an unwalled lot enclosed by barbed wire, Selma Ferreira Rodrigues's shack sheltered her six children, who slept together in the tiny room divided in half by a bookcase and wardrobes. It was the middle of 1995, and her house was located less than 10 square meters from the dam creating the artificial lake Paranoá in one of the poorest regions of the Federal District of Brazil (DF).

138 Reais in 1998 were far more than today 45 Reais...whatever way you count !!!!!
Is this not a Brazilian shame...even more from a leftist President and government ????
Your government have so far a booming economy...and are so proud of repeating how good and smart they are.
Therefore if so little is distributed to the needy...where go all the money ???????
You are richer than in 1998.....right ?
Then why the poors are....pooorer ???????
