Just a couple of quick blog updates...

Firstly, the guy we took to the hospital (see blog post November 19, 2009) about the foot that was run over by a car is fine and doing well. His foot has completely recovered. He still lives mainly on the streets in the favela and still collects rubbish to scrape some money together to buy alcohol.

Secondly, the guy we took to the rehab place has left it and has returned to the community where our cook saw him still sniffing thinners. (see post March 5, 2010) I´m sure we will see him again at some point. What has come of this is that there are now a few people who have approached us for help to come off drugs and alcohol so it could be that we will be making more trips to the rehab farm over the next few weeks. Watch this space.
