The charity provides health and legal services for street children and vulnerable young people in Brazil. As part of the 12-hour sponsored sleep-out on the floor of Spitalfields Market, the volunteers were challenged to build a mini-'cardboard city' and had the opportunity to try Brazilian capoeira.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø volunteer Tom Hallam, a second-year Geography student said, 'I heard about it from a friend, Hannah, who's also stewarding tonight. And, really, I just wanted to give something back.'
