One great surprise happen happened this evening when the office lights were almost off. I received a phone call, out of the usually usual office time. It was my client telling me that she'd just found the exactly exact character for an interview that we are looking for. This man couldn't wait the next day to speak with us.

Firstly, I thought to call immediately to the journalist of my staff because she already had gone. I would ask her if she could make all the interview interviewing job and then the rest of writing story stories, even out of office hours. That isn't the work I was supposed to do, but I really like talk talking to people, know their lives, challenges, problems and expectations. 

And in this case much more. I talked to a man, 79 years old, owner of a small business in Conceição do Mato Dentro, Minas Gerais. He sells many items of local market in his shop like regional sweets, cheese and jelly. Many people buy them there: mining workers, citizens and tourists. He said that nobody went away Conceição without stop stopping in his shop. 

We talked about many subjects, his childhood in the town, his wife, daughter and grandsons. But the manly main purpose of my call was to inform him that my client, an important mining company will finally get asphalt asphalted and fix the manly main street of the city, in front of his shop. This make him very happy. For my surprise, when I asked him about some improvements and initiatives that he and his community are willing for the future, the answer was: one college so my grandsons could return and study here, not so far as today.
