Help Children in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil

I set up a fundraising page in honor of my upcoming pilgrimage to Brazil in order to give something back to the people who will be helping me learn about Brazilian culture and music. The charity that will be receiving the funds is called Friends of Maria.

"Donna Maria Davina Rodrigues is a small 81 year old Brazilian lady who lives in Salvador, Brazil. For the past 40 years she has worked tirelessly to help others, and now cares full time for over 30 abandoned children, some are only a few months old. This charity has been set up to help these dis-advantaged people thorugh Maria and her refuge." (Courtesy of the Friends of Maria website)

Here is a link to their site if you would like to read more about this remarkable woman.

The website is hosted by a British company so the donation amounts will be calculated in British pounds: For example, if you donate 20 pounds it equals around $35 USD.
