Dear Ása, I would like to talk about the time you spent with us. You have done a great job with the children while you were here. You were very kind and patient to all the babies and very friendly to the staff. Come back to Curitiba and come to visit us! We miss you already.

The highlight of my experience was waking up at 5 a.m. to go to monitoring the beaches. Arriving in a desert beach and enjoying the calm and the wonderful landscape it’s something I’ll never forget.

When I remember my time in Rio de Janeiro and look at the gorgeous pictures I took I kind of feel homesick. Today Brazil is my second home, that’s why I keep coming back to Brazil.
I would like to say thanks to my lovely host family, who made me feel like home. I couldn’t have had a better welcome in Brazil and this made being away from home the first time a lot easier for me. You mean a lot to me Renata Lampert!
Furthermore thanks to Solar Meninos Luz for all the things I could experience during my time as a volunteer. I can’t even put in words how it made me feel to see the kids growing and making progress. I miss them every single day. It was an increadible feeling to do something completely selflessly and the greatfulness of the kids and the employees paid me so much more than money could ever do. I personally grew a lot from it.
And finally a huge thanks to Brazilian Experience for introducing me to your country and for making me fall in love with it. You made all this possible! OBRIGADA!

I have had an amazing time, one which I will remember and cherish forever. I have learnt much about the animals of Brazil, hopefully I will be able to use some of this for my studies of zoology and anthropology at university later this year. Again thank you so much, and hopefully one day I can come back for a visit.

Words can’t even describe my time spent here. It felt like yesterday that we arrived in one of the most beautiful places I could ever imagined. Working with the staff, the animals, and the children each day has been the greatest experience, so many special moments, I really hope to return and meet with everyone I was able to work with. This time here has been and will be one of the greatest experiences which I will definetly never forget.
