Zilda Arns died in Haiti


Zilda Arns, creator of the Pastoral da Criança (Children's Pastoral), died yesterday at the earthquake that hit Haiti. Zilda was in a humanitarian aid in Haiti where she was part of the UN mission of peace. Arns's death represents a great loss for the entire country (Brazil), but especially to Curitiba, where she held several jobs in order to help the community. It is with great sadness that I put this news in my blog.

    Thanks for highlighting this story and I was not aware of the work of this lady. A remarkable person.

    I like the mix of entries. What about doing a piece on a PR company in Brazil or a PR Brazilian campaign? Which agencies have a strongn repuation?

    Good work. Mark

  2. Hi Mark
    I am so sorry for the time I took to answer your comment.
    Thank you for your words. Zilda Arns was a remarkable person indeed. I am working on the piece you asked me, and I glad to say that I am discovering more about PR in Brazil than I had previously imagined. I will be soon posting my piece, and I hope you will enjoy it.
    Regards.
