Volunteers
We take 2-3 short-term trips a year of volunteers from various
countries in the world. We call these our Quick Hit Teams.
Each team consists of leaders & 8-10 volunteers.
For many of the volunteers this is their first time working
in third world situations & is often a taste of the work
that they may want to pursue on a short or long-term basis.
Some of these volunteers will go on to work
with Voice for Change. But for us is a privilege to be a vehicle
whereby many other overseas agencies will benefit from our
strategy. Each team has the opportunity to work directly with our children,
also with our staff in the slums.
We have a full child protection policy in place.
You do not need to know any portuguese to go on these trips.
We also run a longer volunteer programme for people who have
been on a Quick Hit trip and would like to go back for a longer
spell of work with Voice for change. This envolves learning
brazilian portuguese to a standard before you go. |
