Riassunto

This freshly revised tenth edition of The International Directory of Voluntary Work gives full details of over 700 organisations around the world that need all types of people for all types of work, for periods of time that can vary from a few hours to a few years.

The book includes thousands of short and long term voluntary residential placements around the world; opportunities listed include:

Creating an eco-centre in India.Organic farming in Hawaii.Archaeological digs in France.Fruit-picking in Ecuador.Sports coaching in Tanzania.Teaching English to Russian children.Working with street children in Brazil.Constructing wells in Cambodia.Studying whales in the Canary Isles.Conservation work in Kenya.
The book also covers non-residential voluntary work in the UK and the USA, with possibilities such as:

Planting trees in San Francisco.Caring for seal pups in Cornwall.Helping to rehouse homeless people.Raptor rehabilitation in North Carolina.Restoring steam locomotives.Stewarding in Shakespeare’s Globe theatre.Puppy-walking guide dogs for the blind.
The book gives full details of the placement organizations listed, their objectives and the types of volunteer they are looking for: some may need trained and experienced professionals with some specific expertise, while others are looking simply for willing people with the time and motivation to help them. The listings also describe the lengths of time for which volunteers are required, if board, lodging, insurance etc are provided and whether pocket money is paid, or a registration fee is charged.
