  - Opportunities for Volunteering Time

Volunteering Time
Volunteering time can add quality to the projects, moral support to the local people and good feelings of having done good to the employees of the company – and this we welcome as well. It though implicates some travel costs as our projects will be implemented in poor Western provinces and most companies operate in coastal areas. Volunteering time can be used by collecting materials for preschools and elementary schools, collecting warm clothes and shoes for children, selling or promoting the selling of local handicrafts of minority women, giving courses in nutrition, health and hygiene and much more.
Minimum Time Commitment: 0 hours/week.
