Program Description
Volunteer in Brazil
Description
This program offers its participants a truly unique and remarkable way to experience Brazil. By living and working side-by-side with a local community in Piracicaba (located a couple of hours from Sao Paulo), volunteers have an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the community while experiencing a total cultural immersion that cannot be matched by conventional travel programs. World Endeavors' volunteer opportunities include teaching children, orphanage assistance, environmental conservation projects, wildlife conservation projects, community development, and health care and health education.
Highlights
Brazil is the most populous country in South America and the 5th largest country in the world. This tropical land is not only known for its size but its ecological treasures with a large Atlantic coast, a mountain range, and the Amazon River basin and rain-forest. Despite its amazing beauty there is a great need for humanitarian aid in Brazil. With around 186 million citizens, 40 million live below the poverty level, a staggering number mostly due to social injustice and a struggling economy. World Endeavors offers an amazing opportunity to help Brazil and its people at the grassroots level.
