Rural-urban migration has caused Brazil many problems, and in particular has placed a great deal of strain on education infrastructure, with overcrowding, and particularly negative impact on student-teacher ratios. Through the combination of education programs, with a sports emphasis the program aims to supplement and assist with the basic educational provision, by working with smaller groups of children on the program. The programs day-to-day running costs are supported through the direct support provided by volunteers joining the program, including program transport, food subsidies and fruit, and educational materials. The program also gives volunteers an excellent opportunity to explore teh fascinating country of Brazil, and South America beyond!
The owner of this company did a gap year trip in the early 90s which involved building a bandstand for a small village in Patagonia. While he was there, he realised the project was only helpful in developing the Western traveller as the village didn’t want a bandstand and only argued about who owned it. And so he set up a volunteer organisation which is useful to communities and provides them with resources and help with funding. Today, his projects offer travellers an opportunity to fully integrate into communities and to make a real long-term difference to the local people’s lifestyles.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
