I had a great time at the home! Highlights: -It's close from the metro station -They are very efficient with providing food for breakfast (And also ingredients so volunteers can bake cakes for the staff) -The tasks are simple because there's also a cleaning lady who does the hard job but also need all the collaboration you can provide. -3 days off -The hosts are flexible, comprehensive, respectful and tolerant which is hard to find sometimes. For you, next volunteer: This is a young hostel, so, any extra love for the place will be always appreciated!

I stayed at the home for 1 month and I really felt that it wasn't enough. I had such a great time engaging in various activities outside the home, but with other volunteers at the hostel as well. Management and other volunteers were all so fun to work with and I really enjoyed every moment of my stay there. I also made my first cake thanks to my fellow volunteers :D During my stay I had a few requests and Reynaldo and Rodrigo addressed them with understanding, and I am forever grateful to them for that. I am already planning to be back to Rio in February, see you there! ;)

Huge Obrigato to Reynaldo and Rodrigo to accept me in the home Family.the home was really different from other Worldpackers's place, all the learning, activities..events, I never imagine cooking for so many costumers, during xmas events. It's a family! they looked after you..I feel sad to leave because all the people in the house where I spent Christmas with. the home is challenging, inspirational, formative and intense. The worktime is very flexible and tasks easy to learn for beginners as well.. and Reynaldo is great. I have been so lucky! a must experience a big hug.. SAUDADE ..a lot.
