In today’s world economy, it is
more critical than ever for Indianapolis
to be a city that is globally recognized
as a great place to live, work, and raise a
family. Moreover, we must be a city that is welcoming and inclusive
to all who make Indianapolis their home.
I’m proud to report that Indianapolis is very connected to the world.
Today, we have numerous global connections through our
international businesses, foreign students that study in our
universities, and our thriving sports and arts communities that bring
many visitors from around the globe to our city.
Since I became Mayor, we have doubled the number of Sister Cities.
I believe our Sister City partnerships represent one key initiative in

About Campinas
Campinas is a Brazilian city of Sao Paulo State, in the country's Southeast Region. Campinas
means "grass fields" in Portuguese and refers to its characteristic landscape, which originally
comprised large stretches of dense subtropical forests, mainly along the many rivers,
interspersed with gently rolling hills covered by low-lying vegetation.
The city was founded on July 14, 1774, by Barreto Leme, initially as a simple outpost serving
the "Bandeirantes" who were in search of precious minerals and Indian slaves. In the first
half of the 19th century, Campinas became a growing population center, with many coffee,
cotton and sugarcane farms. The construction of a railway linking the city to Sao Paulo and
the costal city of Santos' seaport, in 1867, was very important for its growth. In the second
half of the 19th century, with the abolition of slavery, farming and industrialization attracted
many foreign immigrants to replace the lost manpower, mainly from Italy.
As of 2010, Campinas became an official metropolitan region, with 19 municipalities. The
area of the city, according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, is 494 miles.

Brazilian History
The history of Brazil arguably starts with Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, who arrived
thousands of years ago by crossing the Bering land bridge into Alaska and then moving south.
The Andes and the mountain ranges of northern South America created a rather sharp cultural
boundary between the settled agrarian civilizations of the west coast and the semi-nomadic
tribes of the east, who never developed written records or permanent monumental
architecture. For this reason, very little is known about the history of Brazil before 1500.
The European first to explore Brazil was Pedro Alvares Cabral on April 22, 1500 under the
sponsorship of Portugal. At the time of European discovery, the territory of current day Brazil
had as many as 2,000 tribes. The indigenous peoples were traditionally mostly semi-nomadic
tribes who subsisted on hunting, fishing, gathering, and migrant agriculture. When the
Portuguese arrived in 1500, the Natives were living mainly on the coast and along the banks of
major rivers. Initially, the Europeans saw the natives as noble savages, and miscegenation of
the population began right away.
From the 16th to the 19th centuries,
Brazil was a colony of Portugal. On
September 7, 1822, the country
declared its independence from
Portugal and became a
constitutional monarchy, the Empire
of Brazil. During the first two
centuries of the colonial period,
attracted by the vast natural
resources and untapped land, other
European powers tried to establish
colonies in several parts of Brazilian
territory.
A military coup in 1889 established a
republican government. The country
has seen a dictatorship (1930-1934
and 1937-1945) and a period of
military rule (1964-1985).
The civilians fully returned to power
in 1985 when José Sarney assumed
the presidency.

Economy
Campinas is the 10th richest city in Brazil, representing 0.96% of all Brazilian GDP. The region
hosts more than 10,000 medium and large companies. The city is also an important and diverse
shopping center, with two of the largest shopping malls in the country: The Iguatemi Campinas
and Shopping Parque Dom Pedro.
Campinas' major economic activities are agriculture, industry, and commerce. Agriculture
consists mainly of coffee, sugarcane, and cotton. Industry consists of textiles, motorcycles, cars,
machinery, agricultural equipment, food and beverages, chemicals and petrochemicals,
pharmaceuticals, paper and telecommunications, computers and electronics.
The Campinas Metropolitan Region is home to many national and international high-tech
industries, including IBM, Dell, Motorola, Compaq, Samsung, Alcatel, Bosch, 3M, and Texas
Instruments. The automotive industry is also heavily represented: General Motors, MercedesBenz, Honda, Toyota and many others are present.
Campinas also has a sizable pharmaceutical industry sector, with companies like Medley Farma,
EMS Farma, Altana, and Merck Sharp and Dohme. In addition the region is home to many
research centers and universities. According to the Times Higher Education 2007 World
University Rankings, the University of Campinas (Unicamp) is the 177th best university in the
world, and the 2nd best in Latin America.
Campinas also boasts the largest number of high-tech industrial parks. Examples of Campinasbred technologies are fiber optics, lasers for telecommunications and medical applications,
integrated circuits design and fabrication, satellite environmental monitoring of natural
resources, software for agriculture, digital telephone switches, deep-water oil exploration
platforms and technologies, biomedical equipment, medical software, genetic engineering and
recombinant DNA technologies for food production and pharmaceutics, and food engineering.
Because of this, Campinas has been called the Brazilian Silicon Valley.

Socio-Economic Conditions
Despite Campinas' position of wealth and social and economic opportunity compared to the
rest of the country, the average per capita income of Campinas families is little more than US$
17,700 per year. Campinas is emblematic of the wealth distribution inequality that is so
common in the country: Brazil is the 9th largest economy in the world, but ranks only 32nd in
wealth generation per capita, and 117th in average inequality. Campinas has an inequality
measure that is roughly the same as that of Brazil as a whole. This level of inequality is similar
to that of Zimbabwe and Paraguay.
Such a level means that the top 10% make almost 70 times more than the poorest 10% of
people.This level of poverty contrasts with the high Human Development Index of Campinas,
The explanation for this apparent contradiction is that side by side, even in the same city
section, one can find walled condominiums with a yearly average per capita income of US$
60,000 to US$ 100,000 and spreading "favelas" (slum cities) with incomes of less than US$800
per year.
Until the late 1970s, Campinas was proud to have no favelas, but the increasing
industrialization and wealth attracted hordes of destitute agrarian workers and urban dwellers
with few job qualifications from all parts of the country. Land invasions were frequent and the
municipal powers were unable or unwilling to suppress them, allowing illegal occupation of
land in key sectors of the city.

School in Campinas
Education in Brazil is regulated by the Federal Government, through the Ministry of
Education, which defines the guiding principles for the organization of education
programs. Local governments are responsible for establishing state and education
programs following the guidelines and using the funding supplied by the federal
government.
Education is divided into three levels, with several grades in each level. Fundamental
education is free for everyone (including adults), and mandatory for children between the
ages of 6-14. Middle education is also free, but not mandatory. Higher education
(including graduate degrees) is free at public universities.
Pre-school education is entirely optional, and exists to aid in the development of children
under 6. It aims to assist in all areas of child development, including motor skills, cognitive
skills, and social skills while providing fertile ground for the later acquisition of knowledge
and learning. There are day nurseries for children under 2, kindergartens for 2-3 year olds,
and preschools for children 4 and up. Public pre-schools are provided by city government.

Language
Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, and is spoken by more than 99% of the
population. Minority languages include indigenous languages, and languages of more recent
European and Asian immigrants. The population speaks or signs approximately 210 languages,
of which 180 are indigenous.
Language is one of the strongest elements of Brazil's national unity. The only non-Portuguese
speakers are members of Amerindian groups, and pockets of immigrants who maintain their
heritage languages. Within Brazil, there is no major dialect variation of the Portuguese, but
only moderate regional variation in accent, vocabulary, and use of personal nouns, pronouns,
and verb conjugations. Variations are diminishing as a result of mass media, especially
national television networks that are viewed by the majority of Brazilians.

Brazilian Cuisine
Brazilian cooking, while it has many similarities with that of its South American neighbors, is
distinct. Stretching from the Amazon in the north, through the fertile plantations of the central
coast and on to the southern pampas, the food of Brazil spans a unique mix of cultures and
cuisines.
The original population contributed popular ingredients like cassava and guarana. African slaves
influenced the cuisine of the coastal states, especially Bahia. And around the country, a
Portuguese heritage is reflected in a variety of dishes.
Root vegetables such as cassava, yams, and peanuts,and fruit like acai, mango, papaya, guava,
orange, passionfruit, pineapple, and plum are among the local ingredients used in cooking.
Brazilian pine nuts grow in a tree that is abundant in the southern part of Brazil, and are a
popular national snack, as well as a lucrative export. Rice and beans are an extremely common
dish, as are fish, beef and pork.

Soak the smoked and salted meats in a large pan overnight. The next morning, drain,
rinse, and soak again until ready to cook.
In a large heavy stock pot, heat the oil over medium low heat. Add the onions and cook,
stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are softened and translucent. Add
the garlic and cook for 3 minutes more, until the aroma is released.
Tie the bay leaves, parsley, and thyme together to make a bouquet, and add it to the pan,
along with the dried soaked meats, fresh meats, and the water.
Bring slowly to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and skim the fats from the
top. Cook for 1 hour, then add the beans, return to a simmer, and again skim anything
from the top.
Simmer for another hour. As each piece of meat becomes fork tender, remove it, starting
with the beef chuck and finishing with the salted meats. Place the cooked meats on a

Carnival
Carnival, Carnaval, is a great festival held forty-six days before Easter. Carnival has roots in the
pagan festival of Saturnalia, which, adapted to Christianity, became a farewell to bad things in
a season of religious discipline to practice repentance.
Rhythm, participation, and costumes vary from one region of Brazil to another. In the
southeastern cities, huge organized parades are led by samba schools. Those official parades
are meant to be watched by the public, while minor parades allowing public participation can
be found in other cities.
Carnival is also influenced by African-Brazilian culture. It's a six-day party where crowds dance
and sing through the city streets. Carnival is the most famous holiday in Brazil.

Trace the template onto a piece of foam board and cut out.
Measure out a piece of string or yarn to fit around the head and then cut it in half.
Make a slit on each side of the mask by the eyes and tie on a piece of string in
each hole.
Decorate your mask with embellishments. We glued feathers on the top and
adding a fake jewel in the middle. You could also use sequins and glitter glue, be
creative!
At the annual Carnival in Brazil you will see costumes that incorporate a lot of
feathers. Feathers show the African influence at the Carnival, where some very
elaborate costumes resemble colorful tribal headdresses.

Make a Tambourine
Music is a big part of Brazil’s cultural heritage. Make your own Brazilian music with these fun
tambourines!
Brazilian Tambourine
Use metal bottle caps to make a special type of tambourine popular in Brazil.
Adults should help kids flatten bottle caps on a hard surface with a hammer and use a nail to
poke a hole through the center of each cap.
Children can string between 10 and 15 bottle caps onto a wire. Tie the ends together.
Kids can decorate these tambourines by creating patterns on them with markers or acrylic
paint. They can play their completed tambourines while they listen to Brazilian music.
