 The article that really caught my eyes was Creuza Oliveira, a domestic worker in Brazil. Creuza was a domestic worker in Brazil that had no income and was abused in both mental and physical states. Her story takes place in Bahia, Brazil. She started working as a domestic worker at 10 years of age and did not receive income until she was 21 years old. She was unable to balance work and school. Olivera told a gathering of sidelines of Durban Reviews at the United Nations headquarters her story. Over the years she climbed to the top of the National Federation ranks, now she is President of the National Federation of domestic workers in brazil. Interestingly, She is active in the black movement and the women's movement. Olivera made changes to domestic workers, some of the changes were that no one should be working as a domestic worker until they reach the age of 18, they are also paid for their work and duties as a domestic workers.

Holiday story

In the holiday I hung out with my friends Jordan, Logan, Austin, Aron, Sam, James, Carter, Ben and Dover, I also binge watched series on Netflix. I loved the holidays and I had so much fun. I hung out with my friends and got to try new things throughout the holidays. Myself, Jordan and Logan went to the pools to have some fun, I liked the pools. After the pools we went to go eat some fish and chips and then proceed to go home.

During the other parts of the holidays I hung out with my friend Aron, Austin, and Sam, we had spars to kill some time, and after we socialised about life. It was very depressing. On other days I went around town shopping with my brother, i got to try new clothes, food, and some other things that are irrelevant. At times during me and my brothers excursion I got to drive which was very exciting. I loved exploring with my brother. 

During the holiday I cooked food for everybody and I think I was very good, the things I cooked were mostly Filipino such as Adobo, sisig, leche flan, sinigang, manginasal and palabok these are traditional dishes in our country. My family has their own recipes for these dishes in which they past down through generations and now to me.

The holidays was very fun for me and I loved all the activities and places I've been I went towith my family and friends. I can't wait for the next holiday and all the joyous fun I will have with my friends and family.
