Rather shocking. I might have said that it's better than starving, but it seems that most of the money goes on drug habits anyway - which seems to make it even worse.
#1 - Fri Jul 30, 2010 11:12 AM EDTthis is very common in Brazil. Favelas are houses made out of trash under a bridge, or next to a road. People that live there are desperate, and normally dont have good education. The most education they will normally get is a high school degree. it's sad to see a country with great potential suffering as it is. little by little it's becoming a country of only sex, drugs, and witch-crafting. :( i pray God will heal these people.
