Update from Brazil
Many of you who have been friends of the Belo-Beaver partnership will recognize the names of Junio and Wellington, the sons of João and Silvia Bessa. João is an elder at Igreja Presbiteriana. He and Silvia moved to Favela da Ventosa not long after they left their home and family in the interior in search of the better life they have yet to find. Junio is now 18, Wellington is 16 and their younger sister, Kelly, is 12. The children know no other life than life in the favela.
