The WORLD CUP in South Africa is over! We were supporting BRAZIL (of course!) and the African Teams.
Unfortunately none of them won the World Cup! Sorry!
Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came to Africa. He visited Kenya and met Pres. Kibaki. “Kenya and Brazil signed six key agreements aimed at the boosting trade, investments and economic ties between them” (Pictures and text from the National News, p. 8).
President Lula went to South Africa to launch the WORLD CUP 2014 in BRAZIL! Welcome to Brazil in 2014! Pack your luggage and save money. Brazil is a country worthy to be visited!*********************************************
