THE BRAZUCA COMMUNITY
		There's a total of 17 Brazilians(4 Families) living here in Corning...They all ended up here for the same reason: Corning Inc. We're always getting together to celebrate something...I am lucky to have all these people here,they're very nice...After my father went to France I became part of all the families...each one "adopted" me in a different way...We try to add a little bit of our green and yellow to our american life,and the result is a pretty interesting combination of cultures. Here's a brief description of who they are.
