Community work in South America
When you do community work in South America you’ll discover diversity unmatched by almost any other continent on the planet. Unfortunately the contrasts that characterise the natural world here are also present in the gap between rich and poor. The glitz and the glamour of the big cities give way to a world where many people live below the poverty line. Doing community work in South America is your chance to help alleviate some of the social problems caused by the recent economic problems.
Whether you’ve got an eye for ancient cultures or top class surf, South America is somewhere worth exploring. From the simple charms of rural Honduras to la vida loca in Rio, doing community work in South America is a great way to see the best of the continent. We work with projects in Costa Rica, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands but if you want to explore the whole place make sure you pack sunglasses and woolly mittens, such is the contrast in climate. When you do community work in South America you’ll help to make a significant difference to the lives of people here while experiencing this great continent in all its beauty.
