Brazil, a paradise for some and misery for many

Brazil is the worlds eighth largest economic power, with a GPD of about 800 billions dollars and every year it attracts other 30 billions of foreign investment. Yet, 53 million people live in poverty and 23 million in abject misery. Unfortunately its always children who bear the brunt of Brazils unjust society. Driven by poverty and the escalation of the sex tourism in the north-east of Brazil, thousands of young girls, some as young as 9 years old, are finding themselves trapped in the sex trade.

I didn't see any lies at all.

All what some americans can do is, show old news with non updated numbers and old pictures from the past. Most Americans are out of touch with their own misery. Yes, poverty is rising faster in the US and that is a shame, though not a word about that.

This is so sad. Are there any Brazilian charities that help children? Tell me so that I can donate.
