Calling these people "KIDS" is a bit ridiculous. The program "leaders" are only a few years older than the participants. But lets face it: For graphics purposes, "The KIDS" looks too good to pass up!!!
RIO's YOUTH.
The problems Rio's kids and our youth in Toronto face are at once vastly different and disturbingly similar.
The level of frightening violence Rio's poverty stricken youth face is far more extreme than that of our Toronto youth and yet we find the bleak futures they share are too often too similar. Can Rio offer us a glimpse into the future we are headed for?
What can our Toronto youth learn as their eyes are opened to the harsh realities facing their Brazilian contemporaries?
Interviews with some of Rio's Frontline outreach workers will help shed light on the similarities and differences facing our youth as well as illuminate underlying causes for the problems facing our young people at home and abroad.
