Our Partnerships Are Growing
We originally started with our project Spin Rocinha. Our DJ
school has been open and running for almost 7 years. Last year we joined up
with “Projeto Flor e Xavier”, which is a homeless shelter for abandoned
animals. We are linked with many projects here that are open to receiving
volunteers who would like to contribute in some way in Rocinha.
Volunteers leave a lasting impact on the people they help.
The people that live in Rocinha will most likely never have the ability to get
on a plane to travel. Their only contact with foreigners is through volunteers.
This can be an enriching experience for both the volunteer and the students at
the projects.
Just this past week we joined up with a project run by
Fernando. The project is small but it has been in operation for about 8 years.
I went to see the project and you can see the photos below of the many
activities they offer.
Some of the activities they offer are:
Computer Instruction for both children and adults
Homework Club
Literacy Classes children and adults
Jiu Jitsu
Muay-Thai
Capoeira by Abada
Art classes on Saturdays
They welcome volunteers who can:
Teach English
Art
Photography
Dance
Music
This project operates from 9am-5pm Monday-Saturday.
They welcome volunteers that can also bring their own
talents. So, if you have a unique talent or skill that you would like to share,
let us know.
Some of the previous volunteers with us have taught classes
on:
Yoga and Meditation
Magic
Juggling
Face & Finger painting
Making Jewelry
Break Dancing
Singing
Adult Computer Classes
Dinning room where the children get fed twice a day.
If you have interest to volunteer or somehow help this project let us know.
