Website: www.projects-abroad.co.uk
With Projects Abroad you can enjoy adventurous foreign travel with a chance to do a worthwhile job. Over 8,0000 places are available each year to teach conversational English (no TEFL required) or gain experience in medicine, conservation, journalism, business and many other professions.
Placements are available throughout the year and last from two weeks upwards. Volunteers receive substantial overseas support and are not isolated.
Projects Abroad was established to help those who wanted to learn conversational English in the lesser developed world. Later, other projects were added, such as conservation, as many organisations also requested volunteers with a special interest in the work they were doing. Language skills were still important but so was the Western approach to problem-solving and other aspects of work. Volunteers can currently be found working on biodiversity studies in the Amazon rainforest in Peru, they are also helping save sea turtles on the Pacific coast of Mexico. For those seeking work experience, projects include; journalism, medicine, veterinary science and many business placements.
No teaching qualifications or local languages are needed. All degree disciplines welcomed.
Volunteers are needed in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Fiji, Ghana, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, Morocco, Nepal, Pakistan, Peru, Romania, Senegal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo and Vietnam.
