Raising the self-esteem of our children is an important aim for us at Hummingbird and is usually accomplished through the children's regular participation in the artistic, cultural and sporting activities offered at our community prevention centres. Preventing kids from hitting the streets, drugs and crime is our main objective.
Living together for the entire weekend at our new home near the coast offers the children a unique opportunity and some very special moments; experiences they will probably cherish for the rest of their lives. The sheer beauty and aesthetics of our new home also plays an important role in raising the self-esteem of almost any underprivileged child who is fortunate enough to spend time there.
Last weekend's living-in experience was reserved for girls only and for most of them it was the first time spending nights away from home. Different to the boys of their age, our girls are extremely concerned about their appearance and personal aesthetics. It was therefore no surprise to me that they would enjoy to the full, the participation of our friend and neighbour, Andrea, who works as a beautician. Andrea spent the entire Saturday afternoon together with Ordalina, our artist and hairdresser, preparing the girls for an evening out to our local town, where they proudly paraded some of the qualities that make Brazilian girls become some of the most attractive women in the world.
Suellen comes from our Sítio Joaninha Community Prevention Centre, here photographed after her little beauty session with Andrea and Ordalina at Hummingbird House.

The beaches all had a sprinkling of little ramshackle cafes. We chose the only one that still allowed us to sit down on the beach proper. All the others had taken their chairs and tables up to their terraces. We ignored this entirely even as the waves rolled over our feet.

The Brazilica Festival is the largest celebration of Brazilian culture in the United Kingdom that has been held annually in Liverpool, England since July 2008. It is produced by the Liverpool Carnival Company, an organisation that has operated as a registered charity since 2007. The festival began during Liverpool's reign as European Capital of Culture in 2008 when a Rio-style Carnival Parade swept through the streets of the city. In its current format, the festival consists of a week-long celebration of Brazilian culture including music, art, food, film and dance events that take place at indoor venues across the city which build up to an outdoor city centre carnival street party that takes place in Williamson Square and samba carnival parade.
The Liverpool Samba School was set up by husband and wife creative team Roger and Maeve Morris in 1995. The school performed at the Rio Carnival in 2000 and wanted to bring a touch of the Carnival's magic to streets in their own city. In 2007, the creative team established the Liverpool Carnival Company with an aim of delivering a Carnival event the following year.

In the last two years I've spent almost 6 months on assignments for various magazines in Brazil. I've partied through carnival in Rio and worked on stories in the favelas. I shot assignments in Sao Paulo and Amazon and went on several long treks around the jungles of Rio state and Ilha Grande. Hope to get back soon!

The Pantanal. When wildlife and Brazil are mentioned in the same sentance the first place that springs to mind is the Amazon. But if you actually want to see the animals the Pantanal is the place to go. It is the world's largest wetland and covers some 210,000 sq km. Bolivia and Paraguay have small parts of it but the huge majority is all Brazil. Most of the Pantanal is privately owned but cooperation between eco-tourism and the landowners (mostly cattle farmers) has contributed to the sustainable conservation of this magical place.

Rita Silva, a native of Bahia, Brazil has lived in Brooklyn since 1991. A practitioner of candomblé traditions learned from her aunt in Salvador, Ms. Silva has intimate knowledge of the blend of Yoruban animism and Portuguese Catholicism in her native land. She has carried these traditions—of healing, invocation, dance, drumming and altar making—forward in the Brazilian community in Brooklyn. For Once Upon a Time in Brooklyn Ms. Silva will relate the many stories associated with her orixa, Shango. She will participate in the Parks and Gardens Narrative Performance Series.
