Description:
Casa do Caminho urgently needs a driver. In the rural area where the orphanage is located there is no public transportation and the roads are unpaved.
The driver could help the orphanage:
1. bringing children, volunteers and workers from the orphanage to the nearest town and back,
2. picking up donations in Xerem, Duque de Caxias and Rio de Janeiro,
3. picking up volunteers from the airport.
We have an old pick up and a Beatle that are capable of passing the unpaved roads. However it happens that the cars break down.
Therefore we need a person that is patient and pretty flexible to do this work. If this person would know something about the mechanics of cars it would help even more. A driving license is required of course.
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!
