It was an amazing opportunity. Igor was very communicative and accommodating to your needs. The work load was very light and most of your time is spent with exploring the surrounding area (of the city and traveling to nearby nature sights) with the other volunteers. The school is very driven by both the teachers and students to provide the best education and experiences. Hope to see these guys around the world!

My first volunteer experience and I couldn't have asked for a better time. Igor was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, cooking for us whenever he could and helping us organise trips. The teaching was relatively easy and the students were enthusiastic and happy to learn. Overall, I learnt so much from my time there and would defintely return! Thank you Igor!

My first experience and it was incredible! It exceeded every expectation I had. Igor is a kind, sweet man, who will do everything he can to make you comfortable. There were groceries every day, and I particularly enjoyed the nights we cooked together and shared food from our different cultures. Our love of coffee in the morning brought us together, too! Igor took us on incredible trips to see waterfalls and canyons, and planned more activities for us even after we left. The kids were so lovely to teach. I made friends for life and I'll never forget a moment of it ♡ thank you so much, Igor!!

Javier is a truly great host who looks after volunteers. My time in Jaciara has been incredible, there is plenty of nature and activities that are a lot of fun. Also the students at the school are really funny and great to get to know!

Absolutely awesome! Jaciara is a safe & calm town surrounded by nature… I saw monkeys, macaws & coatis every day. Igor is a great teacher, an amazing cook and an even better person! He pulled out all the stops to make sure I was comfortable and knew all the best places to eat and sights to visit, including organising lots of activities like rafting, hiking and ju-jitsu classes. The school is a calm, fun learning environment and the students were motivated and polite. All the resources were ready and easy to use. I loved every minute and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you Igor and Jaciara!

My experience at the school was nothing short of spectacular. Igor was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and always helpful. The students were all friendly and eager to learn, and teaching was a blast. The course material was often provided beforehand, and Igor made sure to make the teaching process as seamless as possible. He also planned and provided many opportunities to explore the local community here, as well as the nature in Brazil. Every day here was an adventure, and it fostered a true sense of belonging and family in my home away from home. Thank you so much, Igor!

Our experience was fun, but definitely a learning curve. Having to work around a language barrier was challenging, yet fulfilling. Experiencing the differences between cultural norms was shocking at first, but we adapted quickly with Igor's assistance. Jaciara doesn't have much to do, but Igor was helpful with adventuring out. Talking with the students was fun, yet challenging for both parties. This trip definitely taught us to enjoy the little things that we are ever more grateful for back home. Overall was a great experience, and Igor was very accommodating and respectful. Thank you!!<3

Staying at the school Institute was an amazing experience! Igor is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and he made sure I had everything I needed for my stay and helped me to experience the attractions that Mato Grosso had to offer! Working with the children was very rewarding, and I learnt some Portuguese on the way. I wish I'd stayed for longer than a week, I would definitely recommend this opportunity!

Hi Archie, the kids are sorry that they will not see you at school anymore, but they are happy for the remarkable experience of having you around during this short time.

And I hope to see you when I'm in Europe soon. Or somewhere else in the world.

All the best.
