We're about to embark on a stomach-churning, whirlwind of an adventure - and we can't wait!
As most of you know, we will be volunteering with Project Favela for several weeks in October and November. Project Favela is a grassroots volunteer organisation in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. This inspirational NGO is based in the heart of the favela 'Rocinha' - the largest favela in Brazil, with an estimated population of 300,000 people. It is staffed and operated entirely by volunteers from around the world, and its ultimate goal is to change lives through education and opportunity.
We intend to fully immerse ourselves and experience the true Brazilian culture. We'll be living alongside local families and teaching young children an array of skills - both academic and vocational - and in doing so we hope to break through the unjust social and economic barriers within the favelas of Rio.
We'll be working with an international team of dedicated volunteers to lift these children and their families out of poverty, through education, inspiration, and motivation. There's no doubt in our minds that this will be one of the most challenging, demanding, fun, crazy, chaotic, rewarding, energising, and eye-opening experiences of our lifetime, but most of all we want (in fact, we need) to ensure it is worthwhile for all those involved.
Please help us by donating towards this tremendously worthy cause. We already have so many of our own ideas that we want to put into action, including:
- A daily cookery course;
- Regular music lessons;
- Traditional playground games (hopscotch, skipping, flying kites, paper aeroplanes etc.);
- A photography course;
- Arts and crafts sessions.
Your money will be used to cover the costs of teaching supplies - so please dig deep! Thanks for your support, it means so much to us and even more to these deserving children.
