What would you do if you had three months to do whatever you want? Mitch McGregor spent three months in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil teaching English to homeless street children. He told us about his life experiences that changed him. “Most of my friends traveled the world during their summer holidays, but I wanted to do something worthwhile; I wanted to volunteer, but where and how? At 20, I would say I had a secure childhood. My parents taught me at school, fed and clothed me, gave me a lot of love and care. So, after reading about the favelas, the slums of Brazil, where thousands of street children live in dire poverty and often do not even reach the age of 18, I decided that I would spend part of the summer helping these children in whatever way I could. I went to Rio de Janeiro where I wanted to join a group of volunteers who taught basic skills like hygiene, literacy, English and business skills in a makeshift school in the heart of the favelas. The slum-dwellers that sprawl on the hillsides around and away from the more affluent city center make up about a fifth of Rio de Janeiro's population. Poverty causes many families to break up, and if domestic violence occurs or families can no longer care for children, children end up on the streets. Those who cannot survive by begging, selling newspapers, or shining shoes often become criminals in order to survive. I was going to work at the school that gave these kids a primary education. My first day at school was very exhausting. I had never taught before, I only knew a few words of Portuguese and just didn't know what to expect. The ten children who came to my first English lesson were very friendly and eager to learn. They ate only rice and beans once a day and slept under bridges and in doorways at night, but these children saw learning English as one way out of their life of danger and hardship. Days passed and I got used to this place. The roof of the hut leaked when it rained, we had no timetable or textbooks: nevertheless, the children trusted me and some of them made great progress. During the breaks we went out to the tiny courtyard to kick the ball, then I found out why the Brazilians have the reputation of being the best football players Then we cooked and ate together, but at the end of the day when they left to go back to. . . where?. . . I often wondered if I would ever see them again. The host family I stayed with was wonderful. They accepted me as an unofficial "Carioca", as they call a person who was born and lives in Rio de Janeiro. However, it was the school that made my stay in Brazil really special. Even though I was a teacher, the street kids taught me so much more. I learned that no matter how bad conditions are, there is always hope for the future. The time I spent in Brazil opened my eyes. If I had not gone, I would not have had this life experience. If I could do it all again, I would jump on a plane right now »
