Hey man, long time lurker, first time poster here. I'm also brazilian (living abroad) and interested in doing some sort of volunteer work teaching CS basics. The idea of doing it in my mother tongue to underpriviledged brazilian kids sounds awesome!
I also have my email on my profile, please contact me with a bit more info...
Obrigado e tudo de bom pra vc!

Just a heads up - adding your email allows the admins to see it, but not other users. You'll have to add it to the description so I can see it!

Can I ask you what the name of the org is? I really like to teach, I've done it before, and being Brazilian really makes me want to give back to an institution closer to home.
I know I'd like to do that, but I've always liked teaching so maybe it's not fitting to everyone.
E.g. I volunteer at a local (Brazilian) nonprofit org as part of my employers' give-back programs and I love it. I try to get (underpriviledged) kids interested in computer science concepts by discussing how they are applied in games. It is all remote (which adds a level of challenge)
I'd believe many such orgs exist. In fact, writing this it occurs to me that putting together a curated list could be a worthwhile effort.
