When heavy rain in Brazil caused a dam in the town of Campo de Goytacazes of the southeastern state of Rio de Janeiro to burst and flood the area, thousands of families were forced from their homes.
The ShelterBox Response Team on the ground was thrilled to work with Scouts from three different Brazilian states who helped to set up camps and providing emergency shelter to families made homeless by recent floods and mudslides.
