The fifth largest country in the world, Brazil is conjoined by whitewashed, pristine beaches and filled with unspoiled habitats and traditional villages hidden among the many offshoots of the impressive Amazon River. Rustic Volunteer Travel’s volunteer and travel in Brazil program offers volunteers the opportunity to explore many desirable locations throughout this beautiful country – including the former capital, Rio de Janeiro, the northeastern coastal city of Salvador as well as the changing colors and unpredictable environments and animals of the Amazon Rainforest, while working to aid the deprived in Guatemala through projects focused on teaching, orphanage help, health issues, and other community development programs. With untarnished shores outlining the country's coasts and spirited welcoming communities, Brazil is an ideal location for anyone wanting to experience “a vida boa” (the good life).
The aim of this project is to help children with their education but also to make sure that they are productive in other areas, by providing extra curricular activities to keep them off the streets.
