Volunteer community projects around the world
Community Projects with Changing Worlds Name: Changing Worlds Address: 11 Doctors Lane, Chaldon, Caterham, Surrey CR3 5AE   Tel: 0845 344 7521 Want to make a real difference while gaining valuable work experience? Changing Worlds is keen for our volunteers to make a real difference doing real ‘hands on’ work. We are associated with a number of schools, orphanages and animal conservation organisations all around the World. We are also proud to be associated with a number of valuable community development projects in Ghana, Honduras, India, Latvia, Kenya, Madagascar and Thailand. Our examples of community projects are far ranging... In Southern India you can find yourself not only working with young people in orphanages and children’s homes but with many other disadvantaged groups. Women in Tamil Nadu are still seen as second-class citizens. You can help give them increased confidence, independence and empowerment teaching them how to be more self sufficient and able to cope for themselves and their families. In the past our volunteers have helped build clay ovens, weave baskets and create jewellery. You can support the micro - credit schemes where women learn basic accounting skills and how to set up and control a bank account. In India disabled children and adults can be ostracised by the local communities particularly in the more rural districts. In the past volunteers have helped create touch sensitive playgrounds and gardens, design and create a farm for crops, animals and fish and helped in physiotherapy. In Madagascar the Pioneer programme has been associated with the long-term development of local communities in the Fort Dauphin region. Here volunteers work side by side with the villagers on projects that they initiate and they get the benefit - in the past volunteers have built water wells, schools and community centres as well as helped in the reforestation of decimated rainforest environments. In Northern Thailand volunteers are working with Burmese refugee hill tribes who have escaped persecution and genocide in their homelands for the relative safety of Northern Thailand. And these are just a few of our community development projects... We look for volunteer who posses dedication and who have a cause, who are willing to sacrifice time and energy for communities that enjoy little or none of the creature comforts we enjoy in the West. This is hands on development with the people for the people! Click here >> to find out more Click here >> if you'd like to review this company
