COPAVI Project: Denise

Playing with Elena outside of the community center
This is Denise.  She is a newcomer to COPAVI, but grew up in an MST settlement in Southern Brazil.  She left her parents home without a cent in her purse, and with only the clothes on her back, but has no settled here, and lives across the street from her uncle.  Denise works at the agroindustry, and likes her job.  She has found an ideal location to raise her daughter, Elena, and has a network of young mothers to hang out with.  Still a little shy, at COPAVI, Denise is learning to express herself.    

These are some photos that she snapped. 







I took these photos the day we had our interview.
