i would love to do this with you mang. i'm kind of wondering though if it would be cheaper to just to go there and volunteer on our own rather than be part of the program where the cost is 2500 us or whatever. i wonder if its possible to do that or not. if you are serious, lets figuer this out !

yeah you pay your airfare, and then 2500 or 2900 for lodging and meals for 3 months or less money for one month or for two

maybe...

i kno that brasil is dirt cheap..
seriously, u can buy cloths there for like 5$ american...

but the only thing..
if u goto Brasil.. there is alot of crime there..
kidnapping, robbing, murder...
so if u went there u would need to be with people that kne their way around..
so going in a group would prob be better (if u dont kno ur way around Brasil).

Id been very intrested, but to pay your own lodgin, meals and airfair to volenteer??? Iduno? Especialy considering id have bills to continue paying back home.

that makes no sense. why would you be paying for everything to go volunteer? sounds like a nice way for a company to make some serious profits.

if they really needed volunteers, they would have commercial donations that pay for your fees and such.

if you want to volunteer, there are much organizations
this one in ecuador is excellent

I bet you can go down there and actually get a job teaching english where you would make money and volunteer at the same time...why pay to volunteer. Really, I'd head out there by myself and volunteer rather than be part of a team. I know in thailand could live like a queen on $400 a month!

Most third world countries love volunteers but its cheapest to go over there and then hunt down a orphanage, school etc to help out at. I know a lot of orphanages will put you up and feed you if you commit to a few weeks of helping out.

What else I find so strange is paying $2500 for room and board!?! Thats inflation when living in a thrid world country.
You should be able to live off of $5-$30 max easly for food and a decent place to stay.
