Colombia - from Nov 2025 until Dec 2025 View all
Description
As a couple we are looking to enhance our journey through Central and South America by volunteering and giving back to local communities on the way.
We are hoping to use our passion for nature, animals, sustainability, and permaculture to further build skills around these interests whilst helping out where we can.
We’re eager to get involved as much as possible. Whether that be building, gardening, teaching or even things we’ve not done before. Having both attained our TEFL, coached numerous sports, and taught in schools (Kathleen has spent the last 5 years mentoring children with additional needs).
We can’t wait to bring our positive attitudes, eagerness to help, and willingness to learn to a project/community.
