It’s crazy that its Wednesday already, the week is almost over and were all having so much fun! Today was no different, it was amazing an as inspirational as with every other day of this summit!
What made today special was we all got to visit live projects in the Brazilian Favelas. These visits were truly remarkable and intensely amazing; however I must say that we weren’t allowed to take pictures due to security issues regarding walking around the favelas.
I did however mange to take some sneaky shots and some limited video footage actually deep into a fevela. The trip was inspirational and I learnt alot and confirmed my initial ideas of what the favelas would be like. My high light was of the visit was going to a small high school class and having the chance to meet young favela residences.
After the day of visits we all gave presentations on the different projects we visited, this was very useful as it help us understand the visits better and put it into worlds that we could continue to use during one of our individual talks in our home countries.
After a well needed dinner, we all create a ‘secret’ party where we danced through the night in a number of styles.
Every second counts we must not forget this……
So great to have the favela experience with you. I’m glad you could sneak some shots in. I hope we can keep up in some fashion with this school, although it would have been best to get some sort of card or flier or something. Both teachers and students were truly inspirational!
Thanks for the pictures and blog – very interesting – keep up your good work and activism!
