Dear all,
I am looking for a volunteering opportunity in South America, that unfortunately can only last from 2 to 3 weeks.
I have been reading a lot and I found many interesting programs, websites and organizations, but what I really would like is to have some reviews from ppl that have been volunteering and had truly remarkable experiences, so if some of could advise me about really honest and good organizations I will be truly thankful.
Thank you all, Catarina
I worked for the Centre for Human Rights and Environment in Cordoba, Argentina a few years ago (http://www.cedha.org.ar/). The people were fantastic and they were accommodating to a short stay.
A good resource is http://www.volunteersouthamerica.net/. It won’t have the reviews you are looking for, but it has a number of great links.
Good luck.
I recommend you visit http://www.volunteerlatinamerica.com
There are over 22 pages of volunteer feedback on the site.
Check them out.
