Are there any Brazilian Jewish converts in this subreddit ?

First of all, I apologize for my poor English; I’m using an automatic translation service.

Are there any Brazilian Jewish converts in this subreddit? When I see posts from American converts, I feel like everything is so much easier. From the first contact with a rabbi to passing through the Beit Din. Here, we suffer a lot with charlatan rabbis, mainly because of a strong Bnei Anussim movement that was exploited by a megalomaniac rabbi (words from people close to him). I want to convert. I’ve been studying on my own for about 4 years, and I know the commitment that conversion involves with the Jewish people. I spoke with a Brazilian who wants to convert but wasn’t successful in even contacting a rabbi. According to him, communities outside the two largest cities in the country are extremely closed-off to non-Jews and are almost impossible to contact. I only know one Brazilian who started the conversion process, and this was only possible because he had a “network” within a Chabad community. I’m just looking for some insight from a Brazilian convert or student. I live in Curitiba. I don’t know how this works, but I believe it might be similar in some places in Latin America. Thank you in advance.
