I am leaving for Rio in 10 days to volunteer with children from favelas (poor shantytowns) who are at risk for being involved in drugs and gangs. I will be there to help teach them English while keeping them engaged in surfing. They will also learn how to repair surf boards so that they can gain income for their families. It is a great opportunity to make a difference in these kids lives. Some of these kids parents have been killed by gangs. I will do my best to get these kids interested in surfing and teach them as much English as I can while being a good mentor. Watch the below video from the movie "The City of God" to get an idea of how much at risk these kids in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro are.
