I’ve spent a whole month with them. It was a really good experience for me to work in their place, and I’m already missing them.
I wrote the three reasons why I enjoyed so much below.

I really enjoyed my stay here! Even if I had to leave sooner than I intended to I enjoyed my time a lot. I ended up staying for 12 days.

I stayed with a host who lived at walking distance from the school, about 1 km. If it was dark I used an Uber to get home. My host was very friendly, generous and eger to teach me about Brazil and took me to… read more some excursions around the city on the weekend. She provided me with a private room and breakfast and dinner every day.

The part I enjoyed most was spending time at the school. Both the teachers and the students are fantastic. So welcoming and friendly, interested to get to know you! My main job was to visit the different groups and make a presentation about my country and myself. I really enjoyed chatting about the differences in culture and surprising the students with some unknown facts about Sweden. I visited groups at the school with students from 7 to 40 years old and adapted the content of my presentation with the teachers help. I also visited a public school to have a talk about my country aswell as a few companies where the school gives english classes. A big thank you to all the teachers who were so helpful and happy. They are also happy to hang out after work or on the weekends. The school organized a lot of events and I got to participate in the Pet show during my stay, which I loved.

Close to the school there is a lunch restaurant where the teachers go to have lunch every day. The volunteers eat here for free and the food is really nice. Volunteers also have 50 reais/week to spend in the school cafeteria where you can find anything from sandwiches to chocolate and fruit.

Even though I don't speak any pourtugese there were no problems during my stay.

Another thing I did was to film interviews and such for the school social media. If you like to participate in social media content you will really enjoy this place!

One thing that could be improved though is the communication between the school, the host and the volunteer. I experienced that many different people from the school were communicating with me before arrival and information of when and where I would arrive got lost between them. I also experienced to communication between the host and the school not to be so frequent/extencive (she didn't know much about the school). Luckily it didn't cause any major problems for me!

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Catherine) para o anfitrião

I have nothing but absolute PRAISE for this Workaway experience. There was never a dull moment working in this place and living in Farroupilha. I worked with the team for 6 weeks, and in that amount of time, I built friendships with the staff and other teachers that will last a lifetime. I was welcomed into the community with open and loving arms.… read more Patricia and the rest of the team made it their priority to see that I was comfortable as much as I was contributing to the team. I met countless students who welcomed me into their homes for lunches and dinners on the weekends, I was invited to teachers' families homes for meals throughout the week, and was constantly invited on excursions to bars, restaurants, and nearby sightseeing.

Day to day, I worked at the place in the morning and afternoons, sometimes also in the evening. I often had entire days off, where I would go into surrounding neighborhoods to go sightseeing, do road trips to the beach, or go to soccer games in Porto Alegre. At the place I rotated through different classes throughout the day and assisted with pronunciation, interpersonal practice, and cultural education. I often traveled to other schools in the area to do a presentation that I put together about my life in the United States and at my University. I played games with the students, organized some lessons, and made some amazing friends. The students are well-behaved, kind, hardworking, and the younger ones are absolutely adorable. The building itself is tidy, impeccably organized, and cozy. The kitchen is always stocked with a hot pot of coffee and usually a basket of fresh fruit picked right off the trees in the countryside.

The surrounding area of Farroupilha is absolutely breathtaking. The countryside and wine country is simply spectacular... I've truly never experienced anything like it. The cobblestone streets lend the city an effortless charm, and the warmth of the locals brings that charm to life. I walked on foot most everywhere, but the team was willing to give me caronas (rides!) anywhere I needed.

This is a school that truly cares about its students, its teachers, and its Workaway volunteers. I can't wait to one day return to Farroupilha and see this lovely team again. They have left a mark of kindness and warmth on my life that is rare to find in life, let alone in a Workaway experience. If you have the opportunity to work with Patricia, you must, must, MUST go!
