VOICED: Rocinha, paz con carnaval

Rocinha, the largest favela in South America, has faced decades of drug-related violence. However, the community remains hopeful for a better future. Three years ago, a community project began offering free courses in a samba school, aiming to help residents find jobs. During carnival, there's a high demand for costume designers, providing a perfect learning opportunity. The carnival allows students to refine their sewing skills, and the community takes pride in the children's parade. The event fosters community collaboration, encouraging parents to participate and promote samba culture. Carnival is a time for the community to unite and celebrate their achievements.
