Rocinha, Ricardo and his One World Futbol

Patrick's parents and I spent a fascinating few hours in Rocinha, reputedly Rio's largest favela and home to a sizeable proportion of the city's population, to visit the creche and school he has been working with. I'll probably edit this entry tomorrow, but for today, here is Ricardo, the lad Patrick has entrusted with a One World Futbol (http://www.oneworldfutbol.com/br/), in the hopes it will help to give him and his friends a focus in life and keep them away from the drug gangs and general violence that could swallow them up.
