A report made by Agência Brasil yesterday showed that the homeless population of São Paulo will have to face these cold days with fewer blankets and warm clothing than at other times, since the number of donations has decreased. According to the coordinator of the Vegan Solidarity project, Vivi Torrico, the news about the increase in violence in the central region of the city has driven away donations. “People are a little angry about this whole situation that the center of the city is experiencing, the drags and robberies, and they end up forgetting a little about this compassionate side,” she said.
