Be a revolution wherever you go!

I had an amazing two weeks at the organization. The project is truly inspiring and makes a real difference in the lives of many children. Thiago, his dad, his daughter, the educators, and even the dogs make the place feel incredibly welcoming. Everyone is very friendly and happy to share their knowledge about Brazil, its politics, history, music, and much more. The working hours are also very flexible, and the place itself is beautiful. It was a really special experience.💚

My time in the organization was amazing. Thiago, the founder of the ONG is an incredible person that will teach you everything about Brazil, the food, the underground culture, the political and social situation. The project is important for the community in which is developed, and I was lucky to end up in a week full of events and adventures! The normal work usually only involves cleaning, but everyone is very flexible and ready to adjust to your needs. The dogs are lovely, the room they provide is huge and comfortable. Thank you Thi, Ale, Dani, e todos, vou voltar! Amo vocês

It was a pleasure to have you here, be a revolution wherever you go!!!
Germany
The organization welcomed me very lovingly. After a few hours I already felt at home - the staff is very friendly, gently introducing you to the house and the activities, while ensuring your wellbeing. The work itself is simple and passes by quickly. I recommend participating in the activities as well, such as dancing capoeira with the children. I enjoyed the exchange with the children the most, as I learned valuable things from them, but also from the exchange with the NGO's staff. Believe me, there's much more awaiting you than you can imagine! Look forward to it!!

An advice: enjoy every moment because time will fly! The hosts are incredible people, very welcoming and with which you can have super interesting conversations. I learned so much about Brasil, its history, values and current situation. The work is light and fun. The house is beautiful, with many open spaces. Maresias is a cute beach town, I felt very safe and it was my first time solo travelling and in Brasil. I advise to do surf lessons with Thiago (the host). It's super fun and personalised experience. He's a very good teacher. Overall highly recommend experience!

Being part of the organization was amazing! It was my first volunteer project and it couldn't have been better. Thiago and Bruna are wonderful hosts and the whole family of the organization makes you feel at home from the very first moment. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to learn about the community, the life in Maresias and the great impact of the NGO - environmentally and socially. I recommend volunteering at the organization to everyone and would love to come back again!!

This experience was incredible. Starting with Thiago who is probably one of the most caring and empathetic humans there is. I felt comfortable at the organization the minute I stepped in. The other volunteers there were equally as welcoming and I have made some amazing connections for life. The work that is being done at this NGO is so important and provides much needed support and inspiration for children, the community, and the environment. I got to be immersed in the local culture, see some amazing beaches, as well as some beautiful water falls. An experience of a lifetime. ❤️

Shane is a incredible person, we had a beautiful experiences.
Argentina
It was fourteen days, during which, in absolutely all of them, I woke up happy and went to sleep with an inexplicable peace. I laughed out loud, danced, played like a child again, gave many hugs, drank a lot of coffee and surfed. I tried new foods, met incredible people and roots very different from mine. Thiago, thank you for opening the doors of the organization to me, for making me feel part of it. Your energy and camaraderie from day one made everything special. The dedication and love with which you work on the project inspires me, is contagious, and drives me forward. I leave with a heart overflowing with love ❤️
