This is real cultural immersion program where you are more than a tourist - you are a member of the community!
Join in and help this unique project in Rio which offers a high level of early childhood education to the children of the Rocinha favela. This NGO works hard to make a difference for the community in which it is based and is very committed to the work it does. The school and education is provided for free using an amazing team of international volunteers.
This is real sustainable tourism - real work, getting real results in the real Rio, and doing it all responsibly.
