Quelles sont vos compétences ?

My wife (Oxsana) and I are looking for various volunteer opportunities to break-up our travel segments. We are a retired couple from the United States that have been backpacking through South America for over 2 years. We look forward to volunteer opportunities that allow us to give back locally, expand our awareness, develop new relationships and exercise our skills.

More information about each of us:
Oxsana - Over 15 years of experience as a Mental Health therapist specializing in addiction treatment. She has a routine yoga & meditation practice. Oxsana is a Sivananda yoga teacher. She has been to the Sivananda Ashram center a number of times to take various professional training programs and to Vipassana meditation centers a number of times for 10 day silent retreats. During a previous 3 month volunteer period at Sivananda Ashram in the Bahamas, Oxsana worked in the kitchen, general grounds maintenance - organizing & cleaning community areas and was a personal assistant to an older female Swami. She is well organized & detail oriented.

Rick - Schooled in Mechanical Engineering & Operations Management, he has worked for several international companies where he completed extended expat assignments in Malaysia & China and a volunteer assignment in Malawi Africa. Additionally, Rick is an accomplished handyman, comfortable with household electronics, plumbing, construction and general maintenance. During a 3 month volunteer period at Sivananda Ashram in the Bahamas, Rick coordinated or personally performed room maintenance activities - repairing sinks, toilets, doors/locks, lighting and air conditioning units. Additionally Rick created & left an Operations Guidebook with videos for the next volunteer to assist them through routine tasks.

Overall we are hard workers and enjoy an opportunity to provide selfless service. We are open minded, follow directions well, self disciplined as well as respectfully suggest improvement/alternative options.
