Time of my life!

March 30, 2016by: Annie - AustraliaProgram: Volunteer in our Carnaval Program in Brazil

Wow! The whole experience of volunteering for Carnaval and spending a month in Rio with the other volunteers was magical. I found the volunteering program exciting and inspiring! I was totally blown away by the level of industry and passion the local, people for the Carnaval. Living with a bunch of other volunteers was fun - there was always someone to share experiences with. This was the perfect way to explore a dangerous city like Rio, with a support network around you. Although you never feel 100% safe in Rio, I was impressed with our Orientation and instruction on how to keep ourselves safe and to make the most of the city. Did I mention how much fun the Lapa nightlife and beaches are? The Brazilian people are beautiful and friendly, so your volunteering efforts are greatly appreciated. Rio will touch your heart in ways you never expected - and you'll forever have a yearning to return. I encourage you to try it.... you won't be disappointed!

    Carnaval is an event that breaks all economic and social boundaries – a love and passion for Samba makes everyone equal. The Carnaval project enables volunteers to join the preparations and embrace the hard work involved in getting ready for one of biggest parties on earth! Samba schools competing in Carnaval have a full year of intense work to prepare the many costumes, floats, music and dances for the celebration. This project is well suited to creative volunteers with a flair for decoration and craft, as you will be helping some of the leading Samba schools in the creation of costumes and floats. Samba schools are born from the local favelas (urban slums) and most of the schools take their names from the community they represent. Each school unifies and proudly represents people from...
