Description:
Casa do Caminho is looking for a carpenter who can work on our three houses. We need repair for our roofs, windows, doors, beds and tables.
We need a person who is flexible and able to work with a limited set of tools and materials. You will receive accomodation, food and, if you need it, an airport pick-up. It would be nice if you involve our kids and teens in some of the activities you do.
We have a large scrapyard of wood that you might be able to recycle, and some funds available to buy new material.
What are the requirements?
• Age minimum: 21 years
• Basic Portuguese skills
• 6 month - 2 year volunteer period
Who are we?
Casa do Caminho is situated in the middle of a rainforest, outside of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The orphanage aims to take children away from aggression, drugs & criminality in Rio and surrounding suburbs. It provides these children with shelter, nutrition, education and a lot of freedom to play. Your help is needed because international volunteers bring new knowledge and enthusiasm to Casa do Caminho from which the children and staff can learn from!
What do we offer?
The volunteer program at Casa do Caminho is completely free. Volunteers receive airport escort, accommodation, food, training, Portuguese classes and access to “capoeira” classes in exchange for their services. Volunteering at Casa do Caminho is a unique cultural experience – you will get to know the brazilian culture, have the freedom to set up your own projects and the children will make you feel at home from the very first second!
