Volunteer in Brazil — Accommodation, Food 🍽️, and Transport 🚗
ICYE Brasil ensures volunteers are hosted comfortably with local families 🏠, offering hot and cold water 💧, Wi-Fi 🌐, a washing machine 🧺, and private or shared spaces. Specifically, volunteers receive breakfast 🍳 and dinner 🍽️ at home on weekdays, while lunch 🥗 and snacks 🍪 are provided by the project. Moreover, weekends include all meals 🍴 at home. Since Umbúntu focuses on organic produce 🍅, volunteers can enjoy preparing and eating healthy food.
Regarding transportation 🚍, travel to and from the project is arranged through local buses 🚋 or Uber 🚖 for easy commuting within Alvorada. Additionally, volunteers will receive a monthly pocket money 💸 of 250€.
Training During the Volunteering in Brazil 🎓
Volunteers will first receive pre-departure training online 💻, followed by on-arrival training in Brazil 🇧🇷. Then, a mentor 👩🏫 will support volunteers daily and help them integrate into the community. After 4-5 months, there will be a mid-term evaluation 📝, and finally, a final evaluation before departure ⏳. Furthermore, a follow-up meeting will be held 2-3 months after the volunteer returns home 🏠.
