Review

Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Rio and am very glad I decided to give this experience a chance. Evie and Reuben were both amazing people to work with, as well as the temporary volunteers that worked during my time. Everyone was super welcoming and gave a positive energy that made my experience that much more enjoyable. The projects themselves were organized very well and I especially liked the schedule of working 4 days a week. It was the perfect balance of allowing me to be a tourist and a volunteer at the same time. I am also glad I got to stay in a location that was close to so many of the cities attractions.

In the end I am extremely grateful to have had this experience and to everyone that helped make it happen. I hope to come back soon and see all the progress Community in Action has made since I left!
