Retirement Home in Brasil - Abrigo Cristo Redenter


We toured a Rotary sponsored retirement village on Thursday. The nun we spoke with said they operate month by month and rely on prayer and donations to keep the village open. The government provides very little funding. Over 60 men live in the ward pictured. The village houses 120. The buildings are open air with no air conditioning or privacy. It was clean but the facilities are in need of major repair. This was tough to see but wonderful to observe what Cristo Redenter does for the elderly in need.
