We visited a Rio school, deep within one of its notorious favelas. It was a week before Christmas, and no children were present. However, they had left decorations for us to see -- a religious calendar, a whimsical clock, and a chain of four gyrating Santas delivering sacks of gifts from window to window. The primary colors of red and blue energize the scene, and draw the eye to the procession of religious, secular, and seasonal symbols flowing through the frame below a timepiece that has a skateboarder asking us to have a “sweet tday.” The image speaks of the hopes, dreams, and beliefs of children who live within one of the most impoverished communities in Latin America. The school was originally launched with the support of a European corporate executive.
