Thanks for putting up this link. Trust when I say this is a worthwhile project. The school feeds the girls and teaches them so that they can feed others in the future. Lê, Viva Bahia!!!
We greatly appreciate your support of Bahia Street. I am writing to suggest that Bahia Street co-founder Margaret Willson's book be added to your suggested reading list. "Dance Lest We All Fall Down" is an excellent story about Margaret's life in Salvador and co-founding of Bahia Street with an amazing African-Brazilian sociologist by the name of Rita Conceicao. Available on Amazon.com. Let us know want you think! (Nancy at Bahia Street)
