Description:

In November 2008 our new sports & community centre should be ready. We need volunteers that can organize theatre, music and dance classes for our children and for the local community. Our aim is to let the community manage their own centre. Therefore people need to be trained and orientated how to teach others.

What are the requirements?
• Age minimum: 21 years
• Intermediate Portuguese skills
• 6 month - two year volunteer period
• Qualified in teaching theater, arts, dance or having experience in this area.
• Ideally experience in working with children and teenagers

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!
