From Brazil with love

[Fabi Mesquita]

Dear friends, miss you all a lot

I hope to find you all very well

How is my beloved Philippines?

I wish to be there once more, since you are a very important part of myself

I am back to Brazil after 2 years in Vietnam, despite of the love for my country, sometimes I feel really displaced in the west

I believe that I become an Asian much more than I could imagine ever, or maybe I just belong to Asia from many many years ago

I don't know :)

My family is ok. My husband is working a lot and so do I

I am working for projects that helps people to overcome the prejudice and to promote happiness, respect to diversity and good opportunity to all

I am working for UNAIDS, UNFPA and European Union

My daughter is growing fast and becoming a wonderful little girl

I am planning to go to Asia in the end of this year, and I was planning to join the opportunity to conclude some interrupted dreams

I have send a message to Dr Mina but I am not sure if she is able to get my message, not sure about her current e-mail, then I am asking your help to make this message to reach her. Is that ok for you to help me with this?

Thanks a lot in advance

lots of love

Fabi

Dear Dr Mina

I miss your wisdom and your happiness a lot. I also miss you as person and ASI.

I have learned a lot on ACA and I hope that life gives me even more opportunities to learn even more.

You may have heard that I am back in Brazil after two and half years in Vietnam.

 My daughter Khadija is now 4 and she is the concrete connection with us and the Philippines forever, since she is Pinay. She is gorgeous and very sensible. A special soul that brings a lot from Asia to our lives.

I keep trying hard to work for the good. I have worked in orphanages, women´s organizations, human rights, youth questions and lately on HIV for the United Nations Brazilian Offices of UNAIDS and UNFPA, and I am just starting to work in a youth project for the European Union.

I really like what I am doing but I miss the kindness of Asia always.

There is another thing that I miss and need and that is why I am writing to you today: I fell very bad about the non conclusion of my PhD at ACA.

I have worked hard on it, I have more than a 100 pages written already, but unfortunately I left the Philippines before I could formally present it to you.

I fell like incomplete because I loved every word that I wrote high lightening the braveness and the spirituality of the Pilipino to whom I own so much.   

I would like to think of a manner to conclude this unfinished work. I would like you to consider a way to receive and analyze it.

I still have many friends in the Philippines and I was wondering if you can consider to correct and send me your wise advise for the final conclusion.

When we agree with that I would love to consider the defense and the conclusion of my PhD graduation at ASI.

I did exactly the same in my master degree when I was living in Indonesia and concluded my master in Brazil.

Am I dreaming too much? Would you help me to do it?

I have this hole in my soul and I want to close it. Are you with me on this?

Kisses plenty of love from Brazil
