Countries: Argentina
Duration: from 4 Months to 5 Months

If you are looking for a new cultural experience and can adapt to the Argentinian pace of life, then a rewarding time awaits. You will need to show flexibility and initiative and in turn, you will have the chance to develop your Spanish and build strong ties with your hosts. Community placements are available in children’s or residential homes when some of the children with learning difficulties become adults. Volunteers provide support within the children’s home to residents, who range in age from newborns to 16 years old. In the home, volunteers assist with the day-to-day running of the centre. Activities with the residents, such as arts, drama and sport, are also greatly appreciated and enjoyed. No English is spoken in these centres, so volunteers need to learn to speak basic Spanish before their placements begin.

Countries: Botswana, Malawi, South Africa, Zambia

One of the travel writers’ great clichés describes Malawi as ‘the warm heart of Africa.’ Clichés, however, don’t take hold unless there’s more than a ring of truth about them. Malawi’s reputation is deserved. Its people are some of the friendliest on the continent and the beauty of this project is that it exposes you directly to their warmth and guarantees you unforgettable memories. The scale of your task here can be seen in the background provided by some depressing statistics.
