Great description Nguyen Thuy. The flood in Brazil is going bad, still rain a lot in south and dead is over 100. All country is getting food, clear water and clothes to send there. Radio and television is broadcasting to people to donate what they can in order to help people there, we all are making that. I hope that rain stop soon and the sun show up.
