Your role as a volunteer
What you are asked to do on a day-to-day basis will depend on the needs of the project at the time, however you can expect to be involved in activities such as:
- Coaching sports
- Teaching English
- Promoting leisure activities with children
- Teaching and helping at the handcraft activities
- Helping with homework
- Promoting dance and other ‘hobby’ workshops
- Promoting professional courses
- Medical Attendant (For Volunteers Doctors)
Portuguese will be the main language used while on the project as many of the staff cannot speak English. For those who are new to the language or those who simply wish to brush up on their skills, we recommend that you take part in our language school prior to the start of your project.
