As much as I strongly support any international effort to assist African countries, as well as any other project designed by any country to provide assistance to natives of regions which are either poorer or currently enjoy in less "advantageous conditions than the provider, I must also state that in cases where the "providing nation" has itself a VAST number of disenfranchised individuals, such policies do NOT appear to make any sense whatsoever! Indeed, for countries – such as Brazil – which contain millions of people who remain in need of basic education, along with many other infrastructural items, any assistance to (poorer) third parties should be limited to emergency situations.

Aware of Brazil's current unlimited appetite for World Recognition (and Third World Support) in order to secure a permanent seat in the UN Security Council, I must say that such planned lofty goals, appear to be designed mostly as a tool to reach such ambitious goals.

Consequently, in my modest opinion, the Brazilian nation would benefit much more by lifting its needy, poor, illiterate, slum-dwelling MILLIONS out of their horrid conditions, and THEN, when it's TRULY ready, it could and SHOULD further extend its generous programs into poorer countries.

I do not understand why Brazil has to give education to other foreigners if we Have a bunch of uneducated people in our own country. I am from Piaui state and I know a lot people who do not know even how to read or write. I think we don't need to import Africans from Africa if we have a lot of Africans in Brazil without education. Majority of our African- Brazilians live in poor conditions. I suggest President Lula look at the population of his country, first. In addition, I would like to suggest him to provide a quality primary and secondary education to all Brazilian kids especially the poorest ones who parents don't have money to pay fora private school for them. President Lula- lets be realistic- we are not a first world county yet. We need to invest in our children first. There are kids that go to school just to have lunch, those kids have to have hope that a change will happen in their lives. And it is education that will bring that hope and change to those poor and miserable children. President Lula, instead invest Brazilian money in education to foreigners, reform the poor schools in Brazil that are falling apart. Install more libraries and incentive people how to read. My city Parnaiba,pi, has one library for population of 140 thousands inhabitants. To conclude, I want to suggest that Brazilian ministry of education hire Brazilian Idols and artist invite them to study and have hope in education because a lot of kids are hopeless. It is through a heavy investment in our education( primary and secondary, first, and then tertiary ) that will have better conditions to become the so dreamed first world nation.

In light of my earlier comments above, I obviously agree with and fully endorse your position, word by word!

While I do understand Brasilia's obsession to be perceived as a "World Leader" (in order to meet its ambitious agenda), there is NO excuse for even contemplating such an unrealistic (nearly criminal) program...

There must be a limit to the extent of the self-delusion of the policy-makers sitting in Brasilia, who are willing to sacrifice the potential welfare of millions of the nation's citizen's, some of which remain illiterate, as you correctly put it, for the sheer sake of fulfilling their selfish pursuit of Brazilian Greatness...
