Members of the Hardin-Simmons University vocal ensemble Simmons Classic recently toured Brazil, where they not only performed but learned about the people and places of Brazil. Here, a guide leads them through a narrow passageway in a slum or favela in the Brazilian town of Olinda. Retired missionaries Dale and Sue Carter of Abilene traveled with the students, adding to the educational value of the experience. Students found the favelas of Olinda and Sao Paulo eye-opening.
