Maarten and I (Dave) took 3 people from a visiting Dutch church team into the favela today and had a great time. Initially we were not quite sure how it would work out because we did not want to be "tour guides" as taking people through the community could be viewed as a "aaaaahhhh, look at all those lovely poor people" thing. But we ended up playing football with some of the local drug gang and got to know them a lot better. They also seemed to respect us more as a result (but it cannot be as a result of the quality of our football!)
