Porto BR: A Percussion Group that Changes Lives
Sunday, November 8, 2009
In the summer of 2007 I went to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil participating in a course on Human Rights and Media. Over the course of 4 weeks we met with countless NGOs, as well as community leaders in different favelas across the city. Most of them worked with young people teaching them how to use the arts, especially video and photography to empower them by telling their stories to the world, and to get them off the streets.
