Amizade provides short volunteer vacations that combine community service, environmental understanding and recreation. Two 15-day trips to the Amazon region of Santarem, Brazil will be offered in July. Group sizes for each session range from 10 to 16 participants.

Community service projects include the construction a workshop for handicapped children. Other service projects include building a playground for a day care center and planting trees at a forest preserve. Recreational activities include boating down the Amazon, hiking through the jungle, spending a day at beach town, attending a voodoo ceremony, fishing, swimming and canoeing in dugout canoes.

Volunteers stay in a dormitory, and Amizade provides all meals. Volunteers do not need any special skills, just a willingness to serve. The cost of this trip is $2,800.
