February 2, 2014 By itravelnet.com

BUILDING HOMES IN BRAZIL FAVELAS

There is an area in Brazil where some families from the Favela community live in despicable living conditions in huts made of scraps of different kinds of materials from plywood to canvas. These families are in desperate need of decent shelters which will protect them from the harsh elements of weather especially the young and the elderly who suffer from illnesses as a result of cold and damp conditions. You do not need to be an expert to participate in the project but your willingness to help and add an extra hand is worthwhile. This program helps you make a difference in the lives of other people and also helps you develop skills you never knew you had.

WORK ON SUMMER CAMP IN AMERICA

Summer camps in America offer various volunteer and paid work abroad programs open to applications from all over the world. In the summer camps you can develop your skills by working full time with the kids, supervising their daily activities and even staying in the same sleeping areas with them; this role is for camp counselors. If you like working behind the scenes then you can apply for different roles such as maintenance of camp facilities, cooking, cleaning or become an administrator. After completing the programs you will find that your everyday skills such as leadership and management will improve and your CV will be appealing.
