Debutante Ball Held For Rio's Favela Youth(29 of30)
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - NOVEMBER 06: Debutante Rayane Rosa (C) dances during her debutane ball at Ilha Fiscal castle, on November 6, 2014 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rosa has a baby son who attended. The gala was held in the castle on Guanabara Bay and organized by the Pacifying Police Unit (UPP) from the Cerro-Cora community, or 'favela'. They relied on volunteers who prepared makeup, hair dressing and loaned dresses, in an effort to build goodwill between 'favela' residents and the community's police force. Thirteen girls, aged around 15-years-old, attended the ball along with police officers, family members and supporters. The neo-Gothic castle was inaugurated in 1889 and is famed for holding the last Imperial Ball in November of 1889, just six days before Brazil became a Republic.
