Volunteer Experiences:

In 2004-2005 I worked as an overseas teacher volunteering for Projeto Uerê, a non profit NGO working with children and adolescents at risk. Projeto Uerê is an alternative school in favela de Maré, Rio de Janeiro seeking to help poor children overcome their learning and social difficulties. [contact detail removed]

- The school is a large day-care centre and has around 120 children ages 3–16 every day. Each child has private tutoring adapted to his or her special needs.

- During the tutoring sessions I worked closely with students, teaching numeracy and literacy, with learning difficulties;; including: dyslexia, lack of concentration, aggressiveness, apathy, speaking problems and lack of stimulus. In order to aid the students in their difficulties, we were encouraged to make the classes very diverse and dynamic.
