You work in pairs but because the projects are
located close to each other there is every opportunity
to visit fellow volunteers and obtain a deep
understanding of your host community
"The
children at the orphanage have restored my faith
in humanity; despite their abuse, neglect and
poverty, they can love. It is one of life's
greatest lessons and one I will treasure for
the rest of my life."

WHO?
The majority of our volunteers are gap students
aged 18 to 23. However some of the placements
need older volunteers with a few years work
experience. Common sense, energy, enthusiasm
and a desire to help a humble community are
the most important qualifications. Outreach
International is a family run organisation based
in Somerset. We send groups of approximately
fifteen volunteers to a country at any one time.
HOW
LONG?
Our placements last for a minimum period of
three months and up to six months.

.....It's
creative, challenging and incredibly satisfying.
The experience is so out of this world that
I am trying to extend my project. I have learned
to spin and to weave traditional designs but
more importantly I have learned to live without
the trappings of western life.
