Raquel's Letter











This is my response to Raquel's letter.  What does anybody think?

Dear Mr. Márcio Lacerda

      The UNESCO Student Ambassadors for Human Rights (SAHR) are dismayed at the current state of housing in Vila Acaba Mundo in your beautiful city of Belo Horizonte.  It is unfair that families who have lived in Vila Acaba Mundo for over 60 years be evicted.  This is a direct violation of their housing rights.  It is urgent for you to
declare the expropriation of the area where the people of Vila Acaba Mundo are threatened with eviction.  Moreover, a reversal of your veto on the bill that would have given Vila Acaba Mundo status as an area of special interest would greatly ameliorate the current situation.

Regards,
