Long-Term Volunteering in Brazil: Fortaleza dos Nogueiras

The long-term volunteering in Fortaleza takes place with «Mauern fürs Leben» (Walls for Life), which works with the local Brazilian child care „Vida Nova“ to provide academic/scholarly courses for the inhabitants of the village Fortaleza dos Nogueiras. This village is located away from Brazil’s touristic side, in the outback of the state Maranhão. The volunteers will mainly teach English and twice a year, course leaders give twelve men and women classes to help them develop their skills as construction workers or electricians. You will work with perpetually thankful children and will be able to gain work experience in a development cooperation organisation as a project coordinator. All this while experiencing a unique «back to the roots» adventure and having the chance to encounter exotic animals and go sightseeing in the unique nature around the small village in the outback of Brazil. The living conditions and hygiene standards are not high. To apply, please send your CV and motivation letter at mauernfuersleben@thepieces.ch.
