That must have been one heck of a trip @mezume? What you portrayed of their lives and history sounds quite sad. It is often the little things that we need to focus on though... because if we aren't getting the little things right, how can we hope to accomplish our dreams and goals where the big things are concerned, right? It sounds like you guys gave them some pretty decent insights that were staring them in the face anyway, but perhaps being too close to the situation and embroiled in the tug between modernity and progress and wanting to retain a part of their own tradition, something got lost along the way and they just couldn't see where things were going wrong. And you gave them nice simple things to focus on too. I love that. The recognition that baby steps were needed. I do hope that you one day get to go back to Rio and meet with some of the people that you helped while you were out there. It would be incredible to hear firsthand how their journies have developed off the back of the school's input. Sadly though from what I have read of Rio and the Tubiacanga area, the city's sanitation projects as a whole are not up to scratch, and the amount of effluent and sewerage that stacks up in their bay from rivers that cut across from the rest of the city, is insurmountable until the government takes action. !PIZZA !ALIVE !LUV
