The World Volunteers Guide lists nearly 200 organizations worldwide for
people who want to work in international humanitarian projects but
don't know where to begin.
Opportunities are from 2 weeks to 2 years or
more. The guide lists projects in Africa, Asia, Latin American, Eastern
Europe and the Middle East range from work camps lasting
for up to a month for those with no previous experience,
to more specialized placements for those with specific
skills to offer such as nurses or agronomists, plumbers
or builders, teachers or computer experts.
The guide offers explanations of the different kinds of work and
job duration according to age, experience, and time availability. An
extended annotated list of Internet resources allows the reader to find
hundreds of additional volunteer organizations, beyond what is listed
in the guidebook.
Two indexes allow the reader to select organizations
according to geographical area and aid sector.
For each organization,
the guide offers a brief description of the work, a list of countries
where it operates, the skills and languages required and/or previous
training required, the cost and benefits for the volunteer, the minimum
and maximum duration of the volunteering period, and the application
procedure.
