Specific needs in placement sites

Autumn has come and brought new dilemmas to each of our partnership sites abroad. Please read through the specific requirements for each place and let us know if you can help:

1. Nepal: Summer months are the busiest time for volunteering and so the orphanage in Kathmandu Valley was flooded with people over the summer. Now that autumn and winter are coming, the staff over there are worried about the workload that is likely to face them when there are no extra pairs of hands around. If you or anyone you know is interested in going over to volunteer even for a short time, do get in touch!

2. India: The placement site in India is also in need of volunteers. They would, in particular, need people with expertise on development, economics and business, as they would need people to go over and help them with making their project more self-sustained.

3. Uganda: The placement site in Uganda has received many volunteers but is now in need of finances. They have been hit badly by weather changes and illnesses, which means that they crops and the regular work force are not bringing in as much money as hoped. One very good way to help them is by sponsoring a child. See their site for more details: http://www.bunabumali.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=27:sponsor-a-child&Itemid=45
