Volunteer and Travel Program

This is a great option when you only have a couple of weeks available and you want to make the most of your time. It combines a week or two of volunteering with a week of travelling and sightseeing.

Volunteer placements include:

• Education Centre (library and computer lab)

• School handwashing/hygiene workshops

• Preventive Child Sexual Assault program

• Child care at Babies Home

(Placement availability will vary)

​

You will stay with a host family during this time.

The travel itinerary emphasizes culture and eco-tourism. Accommodation is in comfortable but simple guesthouses rather than luxury resorts, helping to keep the tour affordable.
