Volunteer in Paraguay

Volunteering in Paraguay - New

Volunteer work in Paraguay offers a truly unique insiders glimpse of this little visited country in the heart of South America. Get off the beaten track in Graham Greene country (of books The Honorary Consulate and Travels with my Aunt) in little visited Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay and you will be submersed in another world.

With strong Indian culture and language, set against the quirky faded colonial architecture of this hot and steamy riverside city, you will forget any other world existed before volunteering in Paraguay.

The volunteer work in Paraguay focuses on a variety of children based projects from day care nurseries, street kids projects to community centres offering free and low cost education and fun activities to both disadvantaged city and rural communities. You can really make a difference when you take part in volunteer work in Paraguay. You may find also yourself helping between activities with meal times, keeping the place tidy and general supervising children. No experience is required for voluntary work in Paraguay. Volunteers stay in shared volunteer accommodation and travel together each weekday with a volunteer coordinator. You will never be on your own whilst volunteering in Paraguay and weekends are free to relax and explore this hidden untouched gem of South America with newly made friends. A trip to the impressive Iguassu Falls on the Brazilian border is also a must when you have finished your volunteer work in Paraguay!
