Session 4: Conversation with Claudio Miranda

Claudio is a friend from Favela de Paz in Sao Paulo. I recorded this conversation to help us get a glimpse of matters of gratitude and generosity from someone who grew up in extreme material poverty. I hope you will be as inspired by his courage and insight as I was. Many thanks, also, to Debora Degenszejn for her support with translation.
