Computers Up and Running at Uganda Project Site

Our Ugandan parter project enjoyed having four volunteers from the UK over for five weeks. The volunteers were of great help for teachers, management staff and the children.

In addition to all the great work that they carried out, they also contributed to the project by purchasing a generator. This is a massive improvement for the project, as now they will be able to charge their mobile phones on site and use computers that have been sitting in their storage for a long time due to lack of power.

Needless to say, all at the project site are feeling grateful. To see recent photos from the project site, please see the manager's facebook page below:

New Volunteering Opportunities in Bangladesh

Volunteer East is pleased to have been contacted by a Bangladeshi NGO who are hoping to build a long-lasting partnership. The local NGO based in Dhaka works with women and children from underprivileged backgrounds, in particular with the marginalized Hindi community.

The Bangladeshi NGO welcomes volunteers free of charge at their base in Dhaka, comfortable accommodation with a host family provided. They are also keen fundraisers and have regular sponsors for students who would not otherwise be able to afford to go to school.

If you are interested in finding out more about volunteering in Bangladesh, please contact Tiija at tiija.rinta@gmail.com
