During the'80s, Hepburn was devoted to humanitarian work, seized the children as special ambassador for UNICEF. This mission was conducted over fifty trips to third world countries, until the manifestation of colon cancer will prevent it.

Meri said that she was feeling good today. She's happiest when she goes out with her friends and she said friends and family were two things which she couldn't live without. If she could be anywhere in the world at this moment, she would be on a beach.
Meri hasn't got a great memory, however, she remembers her last birthay. She said that it was fantastic! Sher remembers too that she went to Italy on a school trip when she was fifteen. The best holiday she has ever had was in Tunis.
She's always trying to be positive about the future. I asked if the planet would be a better place in a hundred years, and she said tht it probably happen.
When she's older, Meri thinks that she might still live in Banyoles or maybe, in Girona.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to enquire about lottery funds for a community project in our town.
Banyoles is a town in the north of spain. There are a lot of interesting places in and around the town. There are a lot of new residential areas, but there are, too, a lot of people who haven't got a home. For that reason, we would like to build a centre for the people who have not got house, family or food. This centre could make Banyoles a better town.
I would be grateful if you send me information about lottery grants. If you have any questions about our project, please do not hesitate contact me.
Yours faithfully,
Gemma Riera
