Brazil-Poverty

Brazil's beautiful landscape and unbelievable love of soccer is not the only reason I am recommending a trip there.  A trip to this country will be an eye-opening experience to anyone on the subject of poverty.  It is true that we have some poverty here in America, but there is nothing like the favelas that can be found in Brazil.  One room houses stacked on top of each other filling up the side of a large hill with no electricity or running water are called favelas, and they are what hundreds of thousands of Brazilians call home.  The sight of this is breath taking, and it is something that truly has to be seen first hand.
