Children from the Cantagalo favel community react while watching matches during the Olympic Rugby 7's on August 11, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A small group of children were surprised with tickets to the Olympics after staff and volunteers from their English language school the Caminhos Language Centre, arranged to buy tickets for them. The kids were given Olympic merchandise bags, a trip to McDonalds and tickets to a session at the Olympic Rugby 7s event. Generally, tickets to the Olympics are out of reach for many Brazilians, families from underprivileged areas such as favelas have very little opportunity to see the Olympics live.
