It was an incredible experience!
by: Ligia Luciano - BrazilProgram: Volunteer/Internship Opportunities In ItacaréI participated as a volunteer at ETIV do Brasil and it was an incredible experience. I was able to participate and support various activities and actions in the community in which the project is directed. In addition to the beautiful landscapes and beaches of the city of Itacaré, local people are also welcoming. I was very well received by the other volunteers and employees of ETIV do Brasil and had all the necessary support.
Unforgettable!
by: Monique Dray - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer/Internship Opportunities In ItacaréI worked with the NGO way back in its early stages when everything was still being set up and I'm so proud to see how far the organisation has come in just 4 years!

What inspired you to travel abroad?
Most of the difficulties come from lack of communication and different perspectives. We are always working for open and attentive communication, understanding all perspectives, and talking through problems to arrive at a better solution.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
For me, training means helping others to learn. As an old proverb says: 'You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.’ Trainers have to be catalyzers, and the quality of training depends on their capacity to listen carefully to the participants. Non-formal learning is a process where everybody involved is building the learning. This is one of the ideas that inspired the foundation of AGöRA.
