Due to the exploitation of resources, including cutting thousands of acres of forest, over-fishing, and mining, the waters of the two rivers are becoming increasingly more polluted, and employment opportunities are dwindling. Our scheduled projects in Santar m are to build classrooms for a program that works for street children and to renovate a health clinic. Volunteers do not need any special skills, just a willingness to help. Local masons and carpenters instruct Amizade volunteers on every part of the project. In addition to the project, volunteers may also have the opportunity to take a boat ride down the Amazon, hike in a forest preserve, visit the open-air market, and spend a day at a quaint beach town.
Volunteers stay in a dormitory.
There are two people to a room. The rooms are spacious and have both beds and hammocks. Every two rooms share a bathroom. Rooms are cleaned everyday, and laundry is done every other day. Amizade will provide all of your meals.
