CCI, located in the community Vila Kennedy, has been working with children and teenagers for the last five years. Currently they work with 179 children from 3-18 years and offer them fundamental skills which will help them to better integrate into Brazilian society. The organization better enables parents to go to work and make a living wage, knowing that their kids are not exposed or being tempted into the hard reality of drugs, prostitution and violence that affect the community. CCI also offers cultural, social and environmental workshops, school support and sport activities like football and capoeira as well as dance and language classes. NB This is only an example placement which is one of many offered by IVHQ in Brazil and not necessarily the one you will be working at.
