   Brazil Volunteer's Blurbs
About me:
I teach English as a Second Language (ESL). I love to travel and found myself falling in love with Bahia. I go for a few weeks during my vacation time and stay with hosts in the city of Salvador. I visit the community of Santa Luzia and organize games and activities for the kids there (soccer, origami, etc.), and teach English. I am working on ways to help get the adults there employment.
Who I'd like to meet:
People who want to go experience the world. People who are looking for a way to make a difference. Teachers, coaches, businessmen and women looking for an alternative vacation, college students, someone who knows about sustainable living.

Dear Friends

I would like to introduce you to my little paradise on this earth.

I discovered it whilst back-packing around BRASIL. It stopped me in my tracks and made me hang up my rucksack I've been carrying around for 20 years.

I was immediately overwhelmed by the beauty and energy of the lake where it sits and the peace and tranquillity engulfing it.

I knew I had found my new home and now I would like to share it with others.

I know people who feel and love nature will appreciate this place the way I do.

I offer a privileged experience of life in the rural community of Brasil and beach life outside of the package holiday ideal for the less confident would-be adventurer or veterans like myself who have seen many wonderous sites around the world and know what they like.

MOO's Lakeside Lodge is a place where you can shed the shackles of society and indulge yourselves in your own special world.

A true Brasilan adventure!

We have produced a comprehensive brochure detailing what MOO's has to offer and invite you to read through at your leisure and hope we capture your interest.

Thank you for your time and indulgence and I hope I can enhance your wonderful experiences you already offer the world.

Many Thanks

Amanda

In control

There are lots of temptations and there are plenty of excuses. Keep in mind, though, that you are in control of you.

To reach the destination you have chosen, you must follow the path that will take you there. And while diversions and distractions will constantly come along, remember that you are in control of you.

Your thoughts, your words and your actions are precisely the ones you choose. They can take you anywhere you would like to go.

Though many things are out of your control, you are always in control of you. You can respond, you can adjust, you can persist and you can move in the direction of your dreams, no matter what the outside factors may be.

You are in control of you. Your decisions in each and every moment determine the quality of life that you live.

It is a heavy responsibility and a magnificent opportunity. You are in control of you, and you will always go right where your actions take you.
