Mission trip to help Brazilian children

A mission trip by the Mississauga Temple Band to Brazil will fund a playground for disadvantaged Brazilian children with help from James Fountain.

James Fountain
 

The Canadian Salvation Army Mississauga Temple Band will be undertaking a ‘Mission Trip’ to Brazil next month to coincide with the 90th Anniversary of the Salvation Army setting itself up in the country.

Playground

Band Manager Tony Flanagan told 4BR: "As well as playing concerts as part of the celebrations, the band will undertake the building of a playground, which has funded partly through the release of the CD ‘Jubilation’ featuring James Fountain, for the children of the Lars das Flores orphanage in Suzano, which is about one and half hours from Sao Paulo."
