Seeking Volunteers - A Little School In Rio Getting Big Results

Project Favela operates a school and provides a free early child education to over 100 children per day. Our school is located in Favela Rocinha here in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. We have a unique one of a kind little school here in Rio. We are using a very creative and effective teaching system. We have a a very aggressive and intensive curriculum. Our volunteers teach in the classrooms, mentor our kids, and manage the NGO. Project Favela is not an organization created for volunteers and built around them. It is a real school, doing real work, getting real results for the community. This is not a "feel good" project where volunteers take a part time approach to the work. This is serious, challenging, exhausting work. In addition our team does not volunteer in an impoverished area and return to a luxury area at the end of the day. Our volunteers become one with the community. They are members of the community. They live and work in the favela. This provides true cultural immersion.
