Actually, it's not a comment. It's an information that I need. I'm looking for an American regular school in Barra da Tijuca Rio de Janeiro Brazil, from Elementary to High school. I'm not finding anyone, maybe you guys know something about it. I'm moving in to Rio, my kids are 7th, 5th and 3rd graders. I appreciate any kind of help. Thank you. Ira knupp

Rio de Janeiro state plans to wall off slums -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The government of Rio de Janeiro state yesterday proposed to build a wall around its sprawling favelas in an effort to help control rampant crime in the picture postcard city. "The wall won't put an end to violence [in the slums] but if we don't contain it, it will destroy the [surrounding] forest, the economy of Rio de Janeiro and the lives of the city's residents," Luiz Paulo Conde, deputy governor, said on Monday. The proposal comes after yet another wave of violence rocked parts of the city during the Easter holidays, shutting down commerce, and killing 10 people, including civilians, police and gang members. More than 1,200 police officials on Monday occupied Rocinha and Vidigal, two slums in southern Rio de Janeiro, only a stone's throw from the city's famous beaches. Their patrols will seek to re-establish public order.
