Posting this on behalf of my friend Erik Hoekstra in Vermont...
"I thought you might be interested in this or know someone that is. My
friends at the Wilderness Classroom Organization are looking for team
members to travel with them down the Amazon from Manaus, Brazil to the
atlantic ocean. The trip will take about 6 weeks, but there is the
potential to go down for a section of the trip instead of the entire thing.
Here's a link to the website for the expedition:

You would be responsible for getting yourself down there and a portion of
food costs, etc. There is an opportunity to do some fund raising to help
defray these costs.
The application form is attached, and can also be downloaded from their home
page. Let me know if you have any questions. -Erik"
