***TRAVEL NEWS***

We were recently made aware of new requirements regarding individuals seeking a VISA when traveling to Brazil. The consulate now requires that you have a Passport with minimum validity for at least 6 months prior to your intended arrival date in Brazil. You also must have at least two blank pages in your Passport book. With the international climate in such flux, it is best to check on new rules and regulation well in advance of your intended trip.

We love to have individuals and groups visit and lend a hand at Maanaim. If you are planning a trip or even thinking about it, get information on-line by visiting:
www.passportsandvisas.com

We hope to see you in Brazil soon!

Billy Joe and Josephine Hart

In 1989, after careful study of the community needs and the changes introduced in Brazil's new constitution on children and adolescents, B.C.O., working together with the Court of Minors, reintegrated the children into their families or placed in foster homes in 1989.

Since 1990 B.C.O. has provided comprehensive educational programs for children and adolescents, and social assistance to the children's families.
