Description

In November 2008, our new Cultural Center was established. We continuously need volunteers that can organize theater, music, and dance classes for our children and for the local community.

Comunidade Rural Casa do Caminho's Mission Statement

Casa do Caminho is an orphanage situated in a rural town near a rainforest, outside of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Our mission is to help and take in children and adolescents in vulnerable social situations; to stimulate their development in fraternal cohabitation with nature while offering social, cultural, vocational, and sports programs; to promote the psychosocial restructurization of the family, and ultimately to facilitate the reintegration of this population into their families and society at the appropriate time.
