For people interested in volunteering long-term, our free of charge projects represent an excellent opportunity.  For volunteers with special skills and/or experience in specific areas, providing professional support in such a way can prove extremely rewarding and help strengthen the overall structure and efficiency of the project.  One of the advantages is that the volunteer’s accommodation and food expenses are covered by local organizations, therefore, allowing the volunteer to concentrate all his/her efforts in establishing closer ties with local people and agencies on the ground.
