This video offers a glimpse into an incredible work—showcasing a free dental program that brings care to the rural poor. You’ll see familiar faces like Elba, Clenildo, and Angelita, along with breathtaking scenes from the Amazon River Basin.

Twenty years ago, Elba, Bud, and a small team launched CDR (Center for Regional Development) in Altamira, a nonprofit dedicated to serving communities in the Amazon. With the support of her husband, Steve, CDR grew to new heights. Friends from the Vineyard in Brasília, the capital of Brazil, also joined the mission. This is their story.

More than just a recap, this is an invitation—an opportunity for Brazilians to participate in real, hands-on community transformation.
