COMMENT: We think that its very depressing for these people to be left homeless because of rain. Lula is also very nice by helping them with some money so they can "rebuild" their life. Its also very good that the Governor of Rio will spend 562 million dollars on rebuilding Rio's houses. We just hope this wont have much effect on Brazil's tourism, because its a beautiful place to visit.
