Thanks for all, in my country, people told me about "House of Migrants" or "Casa do Migrante" in Sao Paulo. Can anybody know about that? Please if so, tell if I can go there because I am a newcomer who will leave my country permanently to settle in Sao Paulo soon! Not because of staying for long just for orientations.
Elysee.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Elysoo, I am going to be volunteering at the Casa do Migrante from July.

I have visited once so far and my understanding is that you can stay for up to 6 months until you are able to settle yourself into life in SP.

The building sleeps about 150 people and there are shared sleeping and eating areas with free cooked meals each night. You'll be supported to get used to life in SP and encouraged to find jobs, long-term accommodation, etc.

Many of the people I met were Haitian (although many from other countries) like yourself and were either refugees or newly received migrants who were unfamiliar with Brazil.

Check out the website here: missaonspaz.org/

Maybe I'll see you there when I start working.

p.s Check out my blog about my experiences of living in SP so far. I've been here since February!
