To have the opportunity to work in a favela was an unbelievable experience from a cultural, sociological and human perspective.

Cultural perspective:Â
The life in a favela is a kind of a micro-society, with its own rules and habits. To work in this environment enables you to learn a lot of things.

|
Sociological perspective:Â
It is interesting how a community is different. All the people know each other and were generally very close.

Human perspective:
I think this is the most important point. Whatever you do in a favela or in an NGO, the important factor is the relationship with the people. To show them that you are here for them and that you really do care.
