outreach

Valdeci A. Ferreira, Brazil

I was the first Comboni Lay Missionary in Brazil. The group we started is now present in many places, and we participated in the third assembly. I represent all the lay missionaries as member of the Central Committee. Now I am the director of a prison which has no police. It is an experience that started in Brazil, and has spread to 16 prisons. Another 54 are being built to start the same project. We have 108 experiences like this outside of Brazil. One in Guayaquil and Costa Rica. Life is dedicated to the prisoners: those who lack freedom.
