The Favelas

Today we walked into the Favelas the really poor parts of Rio. It was amazing to see. Steep up on the hill, and huge steps that seem to go on forever is quite hot temperatures.

The volunteers will be painting an area with the children teaching them that a clean place is a better place. Also maybe talking about health, etc more.

I also visited the project where the people make recycled paper and sell it to tourists, etc. One of our volunteers is teaching the kids English and seem like they are having a wonderful time.

I also managed to make my way back in a kombie (a van) that should only seat 12 people but we managed to fit about 17 people, and the steep winding road we traveled up was unbelievable.

That is all I feel like writing for now, will come up with something more creative later.
