Volunteers will be rewarded as they help in various self-contained community health centers, all dedicated to the delivery of general health care and disease prevention.

For centuries, Brazil has reigned as king of South American countries. From the dark, steamy mystery of the Amazon rainforest to the pulse-quickening sambas of its exuberant Carnaval, Brazil beckons the Western adventurer. The fifth largest country in the world, Brazil is bounded by whitewashed, pristine beaches and filled with an immense unspoiled habitat and traditional villages hidden among the many tributaries of the mighty Amazon River. With its thousands of different landscapes, amazing diversity of plant and animal species, and its vibrant indigenous people, Brazil is a paradise for the senses.
