Thank you for reading our guide to <strong>Paraisópolis</strong>. What you<br />
think about this place depends on how you see it.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are things that make <strong>Paraisópolis</strong> not so great but<br />
there are also many positive things, and possibilities for<br />
it to develop. We hope in the future there will be better<br />
structure for people to live and more things to do. We<br />
hope there are more jobs so adults can support their<br />
children and the kids don’t need to go out in the street and<br />
work.<br />
Do we think things will change? Maybe. We have lived<br />
here for a long time, some <strong>of</strong> us were born here and others<br />
moved in when we were only 3 or 4 years old. In that<br />
time we haven’t seen that much change so we don’t see<br />
much change in the future, maybe some more houses.<br />
But the one thing we hope can change is people and their<br />
attitudes.<br />
We hope people will stop just throwing garbage in the<br />
street, and that cars will stop parking on the sidewalk and<br />
blocking the streets. We hope the streets will be a little<br />
less noisy and a bit more peaceful. We hope the police<br />
will stop treating everyone in <strong>Paraisópolis</strong> like we are<br />
the problem. We hope people will look at <strong>Paraisópolis</strong><br />
differently. We hope that in the future people will say it is<br />
a very cool place and very special.<br />
We believe that people can change and people make the<br />
place.<br />
Not all <strong>of</strong> us will be here to see these changes. Some <strong>of</strong><br />
us will be in Canada or Spain or in Argentina, but some<br />
<strong>of</strong> us will still be here because this is the place we were<br />
born and we have never lived anywhere else. We want<br />
to grow and study and work here. We will be teachers<br />
(teaching young ones – not teenagers) and stylists and<br />
pediatricians. We will work in marketing or technology or<br />
some other growth area. Some <strong>of</strong> us will be artists.<br />
Wherever we are, please remember us, and remember<br />
the city we showed to you. This <strong>book</strong> is a memento from<br />
a moment in time. This is what it was like to live in<br />
<strong>Paraisópolis</strong> in 2024.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Book <strong>of</strong> <strong>Paraisópolis</strong> was created by students from<br />
