Spend your summer in Africa – Your chance to make a difference!
07. May 2015
Make
this summer your best one ever – experience Africa, do something
meaningful and make it count! Hope Foundation organizes a number of
projects annually in Cameroon that welcome international volunteers
from all over the world. While
we need volunteers all year round, our short-term summer programs
last between one and four weeks and are the perfect opportunity for
you to make th
e most of your summer break.
Over
the last eight years, 233 volunteers have visited Africa to help
support our programs. Without their tremendous contribution, skills,
ideas and boundless energy, the implementation of our projects would
be simply not possible. Cameroonians benefit greatly from the vast
range of contributions made, and likewise our volunteers gain an
invaluable understanding of a different culture and lifestyle.
Moreover, working and living together with other young people from
around the world provides an excellent and fun opportunity for you to
forge new friendships, gain insights into a fascinating country, and
to acquire new skills and experiences.
As
the work is on a purely voluntary basis, no specific skills,
experience or knowledge are needed. The activities carried out are
always aligned with each participant’s physical and mental
capabilities. Technical leaders are always on hand at each project to
lead the work process and continuously monitor the situation to
ensure the safety and wellbeing of our volunteers.
Volunteers
are at liberty to indicate which projects they are interested in and
for what duration of time. We are happy to accommodate any special
requirements with regard to dates and types of programs. To see a
