Art and light of the street

ARTE E LUZ DA RUA

We crossed the street and met Hedwig Knist who originally came to Brazil for one year and remained for the next thirteen. At this facility street are provided with vocational training with the unique idea to use the remnants of sugar cane and wire to fabricate luminaries which are on sale in the local malls. Homeless people receive training and new skills here. Learning responsibility through follow through on their projects help them to regain lost sense of self esteem.
