Who are we? Casa do Caminho is situated in the middle of a rainforest, outside
of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The orphanage aims to take children away from
aggression, drugs & criminality in Rio and surrounding suburbs. It provides
these children with shelter, nutrition, education and a lot of freedom to play.
Your help is needed because international volunteers bring new knowledge and
enthusiasm to Casa do Caminho from which the children and staff can learn from!

unique cultural experience – you will get to know the brazilian culture, have
the freedom to set up your own projects and the children will make you feel at
home from the very first second! |
