Long term volunteering

Switzerland SCI Switzerland
El Salvador
My name is Tania and I would love to share with you part of my long term volunteering experience with SCI in the ‘Consciente’ project in San Francisco Gotera (El Salvador). I think that our job as volunteers is to show the world the potential and hidden treasures of the places we visit! That is why I have prepared this video where you can see some of my work sessions with young Salvadorans. Also, the video shows the living conditions in the country and the complicit relationships of mutual enrichment that are generated. With all this I want to inspire you! I want to encourage you to go beyond poverty and delinquency, to see the colors, the people and the landscapes of this place!

You can still join!

Want to have your own volunteer experience for peace?
