Be part of this reality? What would it be like to get to know one of these neighbourhoods from the inside? What would it be like to explore every nook and cranny? See the houses, know their people’s sense of humour, interact with them and share anecdotes and experiences?

The "Seeing, understanding, uncovering… and being a volunteer " project looks for people who want to explore the other side of a city. For those who want to understand more about social exclusion… or to see a different way of living!

So, for one morning or one afternoon we will;

• Take a closer look at their houses, community centres, new businesses and workshops
• Taste typical Paraguayan, Bolivian, Peruvian and Argentinean food
• Visit the handicraft shops and market
  

Voluntary day: during our visit we can lend a hand to the volunteers working with the children by:

• Offering help with homework and at the art workshops
• Making afternoon tea
• Organising sport and recreational activities

Our presence helps to minimise alienation.

Important details:

• For choosing a Long - Term programme, at first, we recommend you to take the One- day programme. This let you know the working place, the possible areas, know tutors and people.
• The One - day programme has no cost if you take it with the intention to take a Long one latter.

There’s plenty to be done and we can all lend a hand. Every volunteer will be able to participate in an area according to their own skills, personal motives and interests. Choose from the following areas:

• Education and culture
• Medicine/medical assistance
• New businesses
• Project development/ search for solutions
• Institutional development
• To work in a network, together with other local and international NGO’s
• Communication, press and marketing
• Team management
• Scheduled activities and tours.
  
  

Sometimes sounds strange to know that volunteers have a financial cost involved in International volunteer work.
Why would I pay to volunteer my time? There is an answer. DWS Spanish School together with Voluntario Global facilitate a mutually beneficial experience, both for the host NGO, and for the volunteers

NGO is benefiting from the efforts of the volunteer and they need the financial resources for going on with all the developing social programmes

At the same time the volunteer has the opportunity to do important, interesting work, and comes away with a “seeing, understanding, Uncovering” host country, the host NGO, and the social sector

However, The development of this relationship does require time and effort, DWS and Voluntario Global works analysing the needs of the NGOs and creating the right programmes.

Moreover, a volunteer’s programmes contribution is going to fund administrative costs, volunteer recruitment, tutorial and assisting in the development and execution of volunteer programmes, training and orientation, and funding the project itself (a percentage of each volunteer’s programme fee is donated to the host NGO and for meals and materials for diary needs.)
