"Transplante de menina"

For the " MUSP" project we read the book "Transplante de Menina". It tells about a Russian girl who comes to Brazil because she had many difficulties in the war. She tells about her culture, things she made, mainly about her memories.

Soapbox Cart

A Soapbox Cart is a cart capable to drive for the purpose of racing. Propelled by gravity, soapbox cars can reach more than 50 km/h (30 miles per hour). Originally, soapbox cars were built from orange boxes and rollerskate wheels, but have grown more sophisticated over time, with material like aluminum being used.
