The young people were given a guided historical tour of the Houses of Parliament before raising a banner they had made on Parliament Green

Children the team from Brazil took football to the lawns of Westminster to raise awareness of those young people still living and working on the streets.  To mark the International Day for Street 

This Saturday I attend a  event at St Luke's Church in the Borough of Islington.

A informative event highlighting the terrible situation in Brazil and other countries with 

Street Children.





Whilst we enjoyed a menu of traditional Brazilian Food we watched a couple of videos
and listened to the children from the Brazilian team and support workers from Brazil, some of the team members put on a dance performance for us.




The event also promoted Street Child World Cup Rio De Janerio 2014

"Sometimes its hell on the street but when I play football I feel as if I'm in heaven"
