Today we visited a soccer program at a favela on the outskirts of Curitiba. It's run out of a local church by the pastor, who was formerly a professional player. There is a partnership with a non-profit based in the UK called Lionsraw. Lionsraw provide lots of 'guest coaches' who are volunteers (from UK, US, and France while we were there). 
We watched training, had a game against the older kids, gave the kids some jerseys, and gave some shirts, balls, and boots to the kids/ program. I'll let the photos do the talking today.The favela
