Area: Belize Jungle
We run is a remote site located in the Belizean jungle in the foothills of the Mountain Pine Ridge. Our primary mission here is catering to our campers who are primarily backpackers traveling around Central and South America . Additionally, we operate a tropical plant and palm nursery as well as a citrus grove. Our volunteers assist in those endeavors. Volunteers work in a beautiful environment and enjoy discounted pricing on trips to amazing waterfalls, swimming holes, caves and canoeing. We ask for a minimum commitment of 30 days. Your time at the Outpost usually consists of 5- 6 hour workdays and helping with evening meal preparations/cleanup in the course of a 6 day workweek. We encourage longer stays and our longer term volunteers may enjoy periodic additional days off as well as more time in nearby San Ignacio. The work in Barton Creek includes landscaping, nursery work with our tropical flowers and palms, assisting visiting campers in various capacities, lots of general cleaning, building & equipment maintenance and a fair share of kitchen work. We sometimes have special projects like trail building, construction and selling at the local market. Our volunteers work hard and we appreciate an ongoing positive attitude. The Outpost is in a remote location and working with us is not for everyone. Some people fit with us better than others and there are times when this is obvious in the first few days and we release volunteers from their commitment and they move along. While we try to put our volunteers in situations that make the best use of their skill sets our primary goal is to accomplish our daily mission with the people we have helping us. Additionally, we are a family run business with our children around all the time so potential volunteers should be comfortable dealing with them on a daily basis. Sleeping arrangements usually are a mattress and sleeping bag in our communal loft area.Area: Crawford

We are a British couple ( three grown up chidlren) who live 6 months in France and 6 months in California. Our place in France is in the heart of an absolutely beautiful medieval village approx 4 kms from the Medierranean. We bought the house 3 years ago and we have been renovating the grounds which contain a large old established garden which was very neglected when we bought it. There is always a lot of work to do in the garden and we need help from volunteers with some experience of gardening. There are many lovely beaches within a few kms for swimming and sunbathing.Area: Provincia de Buenos Aires
This institution was created by the initiative of a group of neighbors in order to attend to urgent basic needs of many families in our community Nowadays we help 50 families from Monday to Sunday, having between 6 and 14 children each, all of them at risk. After a short while some businesses in the area learnt about our project and started to cooperate so that the help given would improve daily. In this way we could carry out our main objective: To supply families with the necessary tools to generate real income resources. This project is self supporting at the medium term but in the meantime it is necessary to continue feeding and helping children mainly, who are the most critical age group. This is why your contribution is essential to maintain our mission.
