THE BASICS

Location: Porto Alegre, Brazil

Cost: Volunteering with All Hands and Hearts is free. We provide accommodation for the duration of your stay and meals on workdays. Keep in mind you will be responsible for the cost of your background check, travel both to and from the program, meals on your day(s) off, and any costs associated with taking a three-day mental health break each month where you are required to stay away from the program. 

Work Days:  Monday - Saturday (Saturday is a half day)

Arrival Days: Monday - Friday from 8 AM- 6 PM

Accommodation: We have basic co-ed accommodations at a local banquet and event hall that is also hosting a distribution hub. Each volunteer will have a sleeping space on a pallet. Mattresses may be available, but please reach out to staff regarding availability. Otherwise, a mattress can be purchased from a local store for R$65,00 (Brazilian currency). Bring a warm sleeping bag and pillow as you need - nights here remain cold and our base has no heat/insulation. 

Meals:  We will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner on all full working days, and breakfast and lunch on half days.

WiFi:  Currently there is no Wifi on base for volunteers. A SIM card with data is highly recommended
