Brazil's School Stipend Has Become a Vote-Buying Scheme PDF Print E-mail
2006 - March 2006

Brazilian kids in schoolFor a long time now Brazil has paid for scholarships so that university graduates could continue studying instead of entering the job market immediately. In 2005 the Brazilian government allocated 540 million reais (US$ 250 million) - and it should have spent more - to finance scholarships for Brazilian graduate students to study in Brazil or abroad. Inspired by this, the idea of the Bolsa-Escola, or School Stipend, was born in 1987 at the University of Brasília.

This seems like a very difficult issue, which is better? I agree that the Bolsa-Escola has more integrity than the Bolsa-Familia. "If you give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, if you teach a man to fish he'll eat for the rest of his life." Something has to be required of the family or else the Bolsa hurts them and Brazil more than it helps them. It loses more integrity also because Lula was a grade school drop-out, so they might not see the point of school, and only care about the family and the minimum wage worker. But I still think Lula is a good president.

Wrong!!! If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day, but if you teach him to fish, he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
(Law of unintended consequences.) Seriously though, anyone, such as Lula, who brags that he has 'never read a book in his life' is a damn poor role model. Unfortunately, I have already heard people picking up on Lula's disdain for formal education and repeating the same rediculous blatherings.

Lula said this? He boasted that he's never read a book? What a wanker!
make a kind reply inpoor and orphan childrens

Dear in jesus christ

Christian loving greetings to you in the most highly exalted name of
our Lord
and savoir Jesus Christ.

God has privileged me to introduce myself and my ministry to you
through this. I
am vardhan vemu. I have been doing the service of the Lord for the last
a
16
years. The Lord has entrusted some churches to me. A few young brothers
are
co-operating with me in the work of God. Our main purpose is Gospel
work.

There are many orphans in all our churches. Some have no mothers and
some have
no fathers. Many of them have not both the parents. They are without
shelter,
food and proper clothes. They are away from parental love and comfort.
They are
away from food many times in a month. Their condition is very pathetic.
James
1:27 says, “To visit orphans in their trouble is pure and undefiled
religion
before God, the Father”. Therefore, I want to provide shelter, food
and
education. If I do not do this, they will become beggars and rowdy
sheeters. I
am not a rich man to feed them. So, I am bringing their miserable
condition to
your kind notice. Please pray for these orphaned children and extend
your
helping hand.

All these children are conveying their loving greetings to you. Kindly
keep them
in your precious prayers. I shall look forward to your kind and
favorable
response prayerfully and hopefully.

Yours in Jesus Christ,
poster. vardhan
