Montevideo, 17.12.2018
Dear Dagmar.
after I was present at the handing over of the door handles of RLS and MST on the occasion of the celebration of the l5th anniversary of the regional office in Sao Paulo, the board of Casa Bertolt Brecht decided to send the RLS, through our member Christian Kuntze-Krakow, a door handle of our house in Montevideo, so that it may find a place in the new seat of the foundation at the appropriate time.
In this way, we are reaffirming - on both a material and symbolic level - the close ties that bind our house to the RLS in Berlin in international cooperation for a fairer, more solidary and sustainable world.
We look forward to welcoming you to Montevideo in the last quarter of 2019, where you will have the opportunity to get to know our work and the circle of our friends and supporters.
Warmest regards,
Dr. Javier Taks

Dear Javier,
I have fond memories of our meeting in Sao Paulo last year. I am pleased that you like our door handle campaign.
Casa Bertolt Brecht will now also be represented with a door handle in the foundation's new building. Many thanks for this wonderful old door handle, which has already attracted a lot of attention in our house.
By handing over the RLS door handle, we are also symbolically reaffirming our interest in continuing our good cooperation.
I am thinking in particular of the important work the CBB does with marginalised young people who are in conflict with the law. We liked the materials from last year's "Miremos distinto" campaign very much and we are pleased that they will also be used next year in workshops to raise awareness of the special situation of young people in the prison system and thus contribute to a public dialogue on this problem.
I look forward to our next meeting. Until then, I remain with warm greetings and best wishes for health and personal well-being.
Dagmar Grandson
