Volunteering at Facenda da Esperanza
enfant_terrible
If you are looking for volunteering options in Masbate, try Facenda Esperanza (Hacienda of Hope), a Brazilian-run rehabilitation center tucked amid the lush and scenic hills of Milagros. It's a rehabilitation center like no other. Alcoholics and drug dependents are brought here not to be housed in a clinic, but in a beautiful Brazilian-designed farm house where milking cows, producing fresh flavored milk, shepherding and farming are the means to cure them from their addiction.
The Facenda is a community of both Brazilians and dependents from all over the world, not only Filipinos. The dependents are being counseled and taken cared of in this loving community. Many Brazilians, in fact, have left their countries for good to live the simple life in this rehab and to help in counseling drug and alcohol dependents until they are completely cured. So if you also want to volunteer in this kind of setting, you may get in touch with:
