Treat Yourself in 2010 - Volunteer!

Treat yourself to an adventure packed volunteer experience in a far-flung country and help a community in need at the same time.

Options range from volunteering in orphanages in Nepal, teaching in schools in Vietnam, assisting conservation efforts in New Zealand or providing care to IDP's living in camps in Kenya.


Over the past seven years we have connected 11,500 volunteers with our 21 partner organisations throughout South America, Africa, and Asia. Here is what some of them had to say about their volunteering adventure:

"Volunteering was magical on so many levels. The partner is inspiring, well organised, passionate and a privilege to be aligned with. The opportunities available to impact directly on the lives of those in need are incredibly special, and the rewards are felt by the children, their communities and the volunteers themselves."

"I had the most unbelievable experience. It was hard work but hugely rewarding and after 6 weeks I didn't want it to end. I met so many great people and learnt so much about the environment. By the end it felt like my home; an experience I will never forget and recommend to everyone."
