This program offers exceptional, experienced leadership and opportunities to live, work, and travel in Vietnam. Projects are typically offered in January and projects may be arranged for volunteer groups at other times throughout the year. Volunteers delegations have been requested by over fifty orphanages and children's homes throughout the former USSR, from the European region of Russia to the Far East. The volunteer service experience involves interaction with the children, staff, and community while the group works on basic renovations to the buildings or playgrounds. Over 900 institutions in Russia house more than 1.5 million children with special medical needs or disabilities and those who have been abused or orphaned.
Projects are open to any group genuinely interested in working with the children of Russia.
Delegations also have the opportunity to travel to historic sites in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other regions. Hurricane Relief in Honduras Peacework is seeking volunteer groups to work in the fields of housing and in health care in Honduras. The people of Honduras still suffer from the devastation of Hurricane Mitch and subsequent tropical storms. Health and housing are critical needs. Medical groups would be involved in intervention services, health evaluations, health education, and basic treatments in rural areas, depending on experience and credentials.
