Picture Post: Vocational Visits, Rotary Meetings, and Churrasco Everywhere!

Our first Rotary meeting in Julio de Castilhos.

Children dressed up for Easter at a school we visited. Its in a very poor neighborhood and has done a remarkable job at raising funds to provide equipment and teaching resources for such a poor area.

One of my vocational visits to a treatment center for youth in conflict with the law. The graffiti in the background was done by a youth who was arrested for exactly that, and the counselors leveraged his talent to paint this wall on the treatment center (a strengths approach if there ever was one).

Cooking Churrasco, sippin' on Chimarrao, while wearing a Gremio jersey. It doesn't get more Gaucho than this. Actually, its does (see below).

  1. I am enjoying following your exchange. I communicated with Ivan of the Brazilian team before he left Brazil. He volunteered to cook dinner when he stays with us...the question is what should we request? Any thoughts?
