Fight For Peace New Project Space

Fight For Peace New Project Space
This is the new project space that was built with money raised from various sources including mostlyAmerican and British individual donors and even Emerson Fitipaldi- Brazilian Race Car legend. The project is in the middle of one of the worst favela's in Rio that has suffered 20 years of rival gang violence. We now have a place to offer many more classes for the project particpants and to many more children than the 75 original particpants.
