Other information:
Private single or couple room accommodation is possible with an extra cost, as well as airport transportation and tours. The area where we are located is extremely safe, far from the possible risks of the Rio de Janeiro City.

But this all needs a trial period as a regular volunteer before. It is also important to say that as we are a community that needs to remain stable and peaceful, both us and volunteers would be doing a simple monthly assessment to decide if everything is working for both parts, checking if there is synergy between us, work and the project, in order to decide together whether to continue or suspend volunteering.
