Rocinha
Rocinha is a fascinating community. Some estimate that up to 300,000 people call this neighborhood their home. Precise and verifiable demographic information is scarce. What we do know is that the residents are materially poor but rich in spirit. With poverty comes typical problems, such as lack of opportunities and low education levels.
Many people have opinions about Rocinha. The resources and links on this page have been carefully chosen to give future volunteers our perspective about this community they will soon call home! Also, please read testimonials from former volunteers on this blog for personal reflections about the community and their volunteer experience. |
