David Murphy (The Corporal) paid a visit here via Rio and Recife, here are some photos for you.
The Diocesan Hearse. Before the late bishop died he received complaints from parishioners about the prices that undertakers were charging for funerals and also the tactics they were using against bereaved and vulnerable people. On one occasion a man was charged the price of a (wooden) house to bury his wife and they demanded the money upfront. The bishop was horrified by other stories so he started his own undertaking service and the workmen of the diocese made the coffins. Strangely, the prices of funerals dropped considerably. The funeral jeep by the way is called "The Car of Hope".
On the day we brought David to the communities our way was blocked by falling trees and other obstacles three times.
Load up the jeep as we head out into the bush.
Sadly the forest is still being burnt, even today.
David trying out an alternative form of transport.
We paid a visit to Fr. Tony Terry's outreach programme to street children.
At the Christ Statue in Rio.
