As Rio de Janeiro welcomes people from all over the world to its Olympic Games, the city has also been welcoming refugees - about 2,000 of them from Syria. However, it can be difficult to settle in - few speak Portuguese which makes it harder to get work. Father Alex Coehlo is a Catholic priest who heard about their plight and offered up a church building to house a few of them. He showed Outlook's Jo Fidgen around his informal refugee centre.
