And the Adventure Continues!

The past few days have been busy & a blast. On Monday afternoon we each had a vocational visit. I met with Adailton Silva, the owner of two ecommerce companies in Campinas & a member of the Campinas Norte Rotary Club. It was amazing to hear about his start in the industry back in 1989 & see how he´s developed his business in this technological center of Brazil.

Tuesday we visited CPqD, a telecommuncations company that develops technological solutions for Brazil, including payphones that don´t erode in Brazil´s extreme temperatures & new developments in fiber optics. Afterward we visited a school that helps educate poor children & also promotes self understanding through yoga & meditation. We finished off the day at Campinas Decor, a gorgeous decorators´ show house in Campinas´ old railway station. The designs were stunning & inspiring. I now have some amazing ideas to bring back to my company upon my return.
