On a Mission in a Concrete Jungle

News feature On a mission in concrete jungle L IMERICK mil- lionaire JP McManus has changed the lives of hun- dreds of chil- dren in one of Sao Paulo’s drug-ridden slums, but Irish missionaries working in the area believe he may never know the huge dif- ference he has made. The Co Limerickman provided j10,000 to a cen- tre for children in Vila Pru- dente, one of Sao Paulo’s more “privileged” favelas, or slums, among some 2,500 in the city. Fr Pat Clarke, director of the Centro Cultural, said the cheque received in Sep- tember last was one of the few “miracles” they have received. “He’s made a difference to the lives of hundreds of children he’s never seen, and that will never see him, in a faraway place. I’d like him to know that we’re grateful for what he did, though it’s hard for him to know the contribution he’s made,” said Fr Clarke, a Holy Ghost missionary, and a native of the Liber- ties, Dublin. The centre covers five buildings, catering for chil- dren in a favela of 18,000 people in an area of 31,000 square metres. Fr Clarke said he ini- tially though writing to the JP McManus Foundation to seek financial help would be “a waste of time.” But a month after writ- ing the letter, his sister liv- ing in the Mid-West received a call to collect the cheque and was told the centre in Sao Paulo had been selected from some 100 applications received each month for assistance. “You wouldn’t hardly ever get anything like that. I’ve had a few miracles. Mostly it’s crumbs but you don’t despise the crumbs. “Very few of these chil- dren would have the means to break into any social mobility, because they don’t have education, finance or culture. People here suffer from very low self-esteem because here you’re nobody. You’re in a place you don’t want to be and people on the outside look down on you and view you as a potential crook,” he said. The Limerick Leader gained entry to the Centro Cultural Vila Prudente after permission was sought from the drug barons who control the area by the missionaries working on the ground. We were “watched” throughout their visit, where we negotiated our way through narrow alley- ways - overshadowed by haphazard, make-shift structures, which thou- sands of people call home. The centre is protected by armed gunmen at the rear of the property, bor- dering a railway line from which the favela expanded 40 years ago. However, Fr Clarke, 68, said they “don’t have a choice” in their choice of “protection”. “It’s either them or men in official uniforms with guns,” he said. The centre for arts and culture caters for people aged eight to 18, and specif- ically “provides an alter- native” for children and teenagers who spend as lit- tle as three hours per day in school. Up to 120 children are on their books at any one time, and Fr Clarke said “they won’t refuse any child”. “Some of their mothers are involved in drug traf- ficking and their fathers are missing. There are kids of eight years of age watch- ing porn on a mobile phone on the side of the road in the early hours of the morning. This offers them an alternative; up to now there were no alterna- tives,” said Fr Clarke. Psychologists are on hand to unravel some of the violent scenes they may have witnessed in their own homes, and above all they aspire to impart respect, integrity and self-esteem to those who come through their doors. Aside from funding from the JP McManus Founda- tion, they are also funded by Misean Cara, which supports the work of Irish missionaries abroad, through Irish Aid, which was recently decentralised to Limerick. The city of Sao Paulo, with a population of 20 mil- lion people, was described by one local missionary as “the equivalent of Limerick and Clare together if it were covered in concrete” while another noted this particular favela has a pop- ulation greater than “many an Irish town.” Despite Brazil’s recogni- tion internationally as the world’s ninth strongest economy, more than 50 mil- lion people continue to live below the poverty line. In Vila Prudenta, where families of five live on as little as j120 per month, many and any means are adopted to survive. Lorries containing electrical items and food are hijacked, with goods seized for distribu- tion and sale. For the missionaries, the material luxuries of life are few, if non-existent. Fr Clarke doesn’t own a TV, a computer or a microwave, and cycles a bike. But he feels he lives an enriched life: “I don’t know what depression is, and gener- ally feel a basic sense of joy or hope. Tough times are the grease of the mill, but a lot of great friendships are formed in adversity, some of the best. “I don't think I've wasted my time here. I'd do it all again. It's not about social advancement but the humanity of people.” Leader reporter ANNE SHERIDAN reports from Sao Paulo in Brazil where the vital work of Irish missionaries helping society’s poorest is supported by development organisation Misean Cara and was also boosted by a donation from JP McManus A CLONLARA man who has helped broker peace in one of the most dangerous areas of Sao Paulo believes solving the crime situ- ation in Limerick should be “very simple”. Fr Jim Crowe, an internationally renowned human rights activist, has worked for 22 years in the area of Jardim Angela, once declared by the United Nations as one of the most violent places in world. During that period, Fr Crowe said a person could be killed for as little as 2because “life was so cheap.” In 1996 there were 120 deaths per 100,000 people of the population, how- ever that figure has now dramati- cally reduced to 30 to 40 deaths a year. “There wasn’t a day you’d go with- out seeing two to three dead bodies on the street. One time there was a dead man in front of a bar and peo- ple stepped over him to get a drink. You wouldn’t do it to a dog,” he said. Like troubled estates in Limerick, violence increased in Jardim Angela in the early 1990s due to rising unem- ployment and a struggle by drug barons to take control of the estates. However, he believes resources back in the Mid-West should have been much greater to tackle Limer- ick’s gang warfare. “Things are so straight forward in places like that, where everybody has a name and an address. In Lim- erick, everybody knows who they [the gangs] are, but here they’re hid- den in holes. “I don’t know why the guards can’t control it more. Southill should never have been allowed to happen in the first place, the same with Moyross,” said Fr Crowe, of the Kiltegan Fathers, who went to the CBS on Sex- ton Street. He described the murder of rugby player Shane Geoghegan in Dooradoyle in November last as “an awful killing”, and noted how in Sao Paulo people only sat up and paid attention to the problem once an elite member of their own society was killed. Change came in Jardim Angela in 1996, when Fr Crowe said they decided “it wasn’t enough just to pray about the situation”. A fan of football, and especially hurling in his native county, he used the lessons of the game in their approach to taking back control of the area, which was a population of 300,000 – at least three times that of Limerick city. “The more you draw back,” he said, “the more space you give your opponents.” On November 2 of that year they held their first march for “life and peace”. It continues today, and par- ticipation has increased from 5,000 people to 25,000, many wearing white headbands bearing the names of loved ones who lost their lives in what he described as “an undeclared war”. The transformation of Jardim Angela is now used as a model for other cities, however violence and drugs use is still a feature of every- day life. “The Government here has money but the trouble is to get it out of them for the right causes. The money in Sao Paulo is scandalous; the problem is the distribution of wealth.” Fr Crowe was awarded a national award for human rights in December last, another in the same field from the University of Sao Paulo, and has been asked on numerous occasions to accept the freedom of the city. “Ah sure, I couldn’t accept that, leave it to someone else.” The Limerick Leader travelled to Sao Paulo as a guest of Misean Cara, which supports the development work of Irish missionaries abroad, through funding from Irish Aid, now based on Henry Street in Limerick city. In 2008 Misean Cara allocated over j813,000 to fund missionary projects and individuals in Brazil.

LIMERICK mil-lionaire JPMcManus haschanged thelives of hun-dreds of chil-

dren in one of Sao Paulo’sdrug-ridden slums, butIrish missionaries workingin the area believe he maynever know the huge dif-ference he has made.

ACLONLARA man whohas helped brokerpeace in one of themost dangerous areasof Sao Paulo believessolving the crime situ-

ation in Limerick should be “verysimple”.
