Volunteering in Rio de Janeiro. Community Development and Street Kids

Do you want to focus on helping to bring about local change in education and basic services.

The primary target on our community development projects in Rio are children and young people, along with their families and local institutions and educators.   

  

   

Our community development in area has 4 areas to choose from:

 

• Cultural Centre providing opportunities for gaining IT skills and jewelry making. Also providing recreational facilities for children and youths.
• Community Building providing school support, soccer, volleyball, folk dance and other extracurricular activities.
• Eradication of child labor in Rio de Janeiro provides support , sport, dance and other recreational activities and lessons for up to 450 children (including street children).
• Would you like to help strengthen the self-esteem of children and youths? Would you like to help strengthen families and community ties? Can you act as a role-model?

The local Government provides very basic health care and advice to the street children, but that’s about the only regular resource available. Most other resources are from voluntary sources, particularly food, time and love.

      

Accommodation

You may select to stay in a small hotel, or in a homestay with a Brazilian family (hotel is subject to availability, and may incur an additional cost).Your location will be Rio de Janeiro.

*Homestay includes breakfast and dinner - hotel maybe breakfast only!

      

Your Role as a volunteer

You will be working with a team of volunteers and some specialist government workers. You will be distributing food and clothing, helping with the younger children, helping with hygiene, playing games, and giving lots of love, affection and hope to children who deserve better. You will leave them with dignity, hope and self respect. Are you up for it?
