This project is dedicated to helping those that need it most - children living on the streets and in the orphanages.  Many of these children live in garbage dumps or open sewers, without running water or sanitation.  On their own, they have no way to receive an education or provide for themselves as they mature.  Our purpose is to be a positive influence in the lives of as many children as we can, by providing them with food, housing, education, technical skills & job placement.  With this help, they have the opportunity to live a productive life.

The average Brazilian makes less than $10,000 per year.  Education is critical to helping them improve their financial situation.  Volunteers can help teach technical skills (from woodworking to cooking) to those entering the work force & the arts can be taught to younger children who would probably never be exposed to those luxuries.

Whether you are a physician, dentist, optometrist, pharmacist, or have training in the medical, dental or eye care fields, your skills will be greatly appreciated.  Mobile clinics serve the needs of several poor communities in & around Sao Paulo.

These children are in desperate need of strong role models.  Groups work with a former professional Brazilian soccer player to teach team work, leadership skills & to give children confidence in themselves.

Let us know if your team members have special skill sets such as construction, art, medical, teaching, etc. so we can put them to good use!

With this volunteer project, you have the option to add on some exciting tours!  You can customize your downtime by adding on some option excursions whitewater rafting, jet skiing, and kayaking.  Your group can plan a trip to Rio de Janero, Paraty Island, Iguasu Falls or the beach.  If you are looking for more excitement, we offer zipline tours or hiking in the rainforest.  There are even optional add-ons for local shopping, and visits to festivals or the aquarium.
