| Looking for a group to volunteer with for a month - NOT a western organisation which charges loads of fees, but a place I can go and stay with locals, support local organisations and work with kids who do not normally have access to western volunteers | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
hypertechie sarah gooda Post Count: 2 Msg: #1 131 days ago, July 16th 2009 | I'm currently working on education through performing arts programmes with several communities around the world, and am looking for a community in Angola with which to work - for example an orphanage, group for street kids, community in a slum, poor rural village. I'm organising the placements myself and working with locally run organisations or informal groups who do not generally have western volunteers. | If anyone knows of such a community, perhaps you visited it, or know someone in the country, please post here so that I can see your profile and contact you to find out the details!! thanks Sarah Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #2 130 days ago, July 17th 2009 | Hello Sarah | You could look in the Classified forum if you want. Some volunteer organisations advertise there.

I've got a couple of places for 2010 already and the projects are well under way...so looking forward to 2011....
