VOICED : La recesion alcanza al Cristo Redentor de Brasil

The Cristo Redentor statue in Brazil is facing financial challenges due to the country's economic recession. To address this, the Rio de Janeiro diocese has launched the Amigos del Cristo Redentor campaign to raise funds for the statue's maintenance. The campaign emphasizes community involvement, as the diocese does not receive income from park entry fees. The statue requires over $903,000 annually for upkeep, and repairs from lightning strikes can cost $151,000. With three million visitors annually, the campaign seeks to ensure the statue's preservation despite limited government support.
