Sao Paulo has high levels of disparity between rich and poor. Many find themselves in the favelas, or slum areas, which have a unique culture within themselves as multiple generations have been stuck in cycles of poverty. Restoration Ministries, our on-field partner, has been part of the community in some of these favelas for the past 20 years and are experts at inviting groups from North America into their work. This trip is for participants 18+ years old.
This trip is specifically for college age students, especially those who are ready to learn about issues of injustice in a setting of urban poverty. Brazillian culture is known for being colorful, warm, and hospitable.

Royal Servants takes the safety and health of each participant seriously. We go to great lengths to ensure that participants remain healthy and safe throughout the trip. Therefore, no participant is allowed to be alone in any city; Royal Servants always travel in groups of three or more, and when possible, with either a male or Summer Staff in each group. The Trip Leaders also continually monitor conditions within the host country both before and during the trip. If a situation arises that threatens the security of the team, either politically or from environmental conditions, the team will be moved to a stable location.
