Special education in Brazil Group 4

600 million children in the world with disabilities, 400 million of those 600 million are from other countries outside of the U.S. And only 2 percent of them are in school. from what i saw in pictures and what they group described was that efforts are being made to better the schools in brazil, but that most of the time those ideas dont reach the classrooms due to money or funding....  trhe classrooms were extremly small and battered, old desks paint chipping off the wall, cement walls and floors looks more like a jail to me... most of these kids who attend these classrooms cant afford to eat or buy school supplies alot of times things are donated to them and that lunch they eat is sometimes the only one they get for the day. I would love to get the oppurtuinty to go teach over there brazil has always been a place i have wanted to visit. however i dont think i could speak the language well enough to go over there ha ... id be like a fish out of water. If anything just to be able to help those kids better there schoold and getting them the supplies and meals they need in order to learn and survive. Maybe then the graduation rate would go up and some of them would have a chance to go on and become something bigger and better so they can provide for their family. they need us and i dont think people understand
