Many thanks to Delilah Anaya whose great photographs of Rio and specifically Rocinha favela can be found here: http://www.delilahphoto.com/brazil
Proceeds from  the sale of her images have been donated to Favela Phoenix school and we are very grateful and also very pleased that such a wonderful photographer wishes to associate with Favela Phoenix.
In describing her experiences in Rocinha she writes:
"My guide of Rocinha, the biggest favela in all of Brazil, explained and showed me the disparities of Rocinha
 . . . . no addresses for their homes, one person receiving mail for a neighborhood, crammed stairways between their homes to transverse from one block to the next, and while being impoverished due to government support. But regardless of these and other circumstances each individual I met had a vibrant personality and willingness to be kind to a stranger, which makes Rio de Janeiro so fascinating."
