opa diego vou traduzir para vc ;) ->toya
hi the english version from Diego's email:

Well, I will write in portuguese, if someone could
translate it to english I would appreciated. The
CMI-Goiânia Collective, that is part of the IMC-Brasil
netword has as an immediate necessity the purchase of
a digital camera for the accomplishment of its
activities. And the money that is destined to us will
be used to satisfy this necessity. So, as I've been
talking with Luis and Evan for the last few days, we
are thinking that the best alternative for our
collective would be to give our part of the money to
one of the "gringos" who are comming to Ecuador for
the protests so he/she can buy the camera at the u$a,
because over there the camera would be cheaper and we
don't need to pay taxes.
In this case I would pick up the camera in Quito cuz I
am going to the mobilizations against FTAA.
I am already sending some questions - Do you think I
can buy a good camera (usefull one) with $250,00???
I would like to hear an answer from the North
Americans.
A big huge to all,
 Diego (CMI-Goiânia-Brasil)
