Getting going!

Teachers and children at Dona Marta school
This blog is dedicated to our Brazilain son, Daniel who has encouraged us to write down some of our adventures, past and present.
Many thanks to Debi who has come to our aid and set up this blog for us.
We have been in Rio for 3 weeks and have already had lots of interesting experiences. The latest was that Stuart fell down the stairs this morning! PTL he didn't break anything but is quite badly bruised.
Last week we went to visit the children's project in the shanty town (favela) called Dona Marta. We used to help out there when we were here 19 years ago as it's founding. Now there are 140 children registered. It is wonderful to know that in these past years hundreds of children have passed through this organisation, heard the gospel, seen it in action and not one child has been involved in the drug running which  has been such a part of shanty town life in Rio for generations
