MARP


She is not a famous person, but she had an amazing idea. Her name is Fernanda Galvão Cintra, and she has always been worried about the poor people, but she never want to give them money, she want to help them effectively. She also believes that witch person should do something to help the others. So she founded the MARP, an ONG in the city of Amparo. This is a project that offers to the employee of the closes farms a better quality of life, with the help from the farmers of that region.
In the MARP you can find a school, so the kids can have access to an education, there they can have access to healty too, because in time from time a different kind of doctor go there to see the rural families, between those doctors have dentists, ophthalmologists, general practitioner and others. Add to that women can learn how to cook and sew.
Doing this, Fernanda didn’t have to change completely her live, but on sure she improve the life of lots of people.

Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson was born in St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City, the son of a showgirl, June Frances Nicholson (stage name June Nilson). June had married Italian American showman Donald Furcillo (stage name Donald Rose) six months earlier in Elkton, Maryland, on October 16, 1936.Elkton was a town known for its "quickie" marriages. Furcillo, however, was already married, and, although he offered to take care of the child, June's mother Ethel insisted that she bring up the baby, partly so that June could pursue her dancing career. Although Donald Furcillo claimed to be Nicholson's father and to have committed bigamy by marrying June, biographer Patrick McGilligan asserted in Jack's Life that Latvian-born Eddie King (originally Edgar A. Kirschfeld), June's manager, may be the father, and other sources have suggested that June Nicholson was unsure of who the father was. Nicholson's mother was of Irish, English, and Dutch descent, though he and his family self-identified as Irish.
