<![CDATA[Austin Dog Rescue (WWW.AUSTINDOG.ORG) is seeking Foster Dog Caregivers: We need foster homes in order to save dogs that have been abandoned in shelters and are at a HIGH risk of being euthanized. We are asked time and time again by those that have adopted from us “how did this wonderful dog end up in a shelter with no family to come for them?” We ask ourselves that same question. We are surprised over and over again by how resilient these dogs are and how easily they become acclimated to the good life! And even though they are extremely resilient, it also takes the love, care and patience of a foster caregiver to help each dog to become the dog of their dreams! Austin Dog Rescue provides you with everything you need to be a successful foster caregiver. First and foremost, we provide you with our complete support and truly believe our foster caregivers are the MOST IMPORTANT MEMBER of our TEAM and we all want to work together and meet our goal of locating the best new forever homes for our dogs. In most cases, when a dog is taken in to our care, it is first placed in the home of one of our board members or one of our more experienced foster homes. This gives us a chance to truly evaluate the dog’s behavior and needs before placing it in a foster caregiver’s home. Once we finish our evaluation, we put the call out to open foster homes that a caregiver is needed. We do all we can to set YOU and the DOG up for success! We do ask for a commitment of time and patience from our foster homes. Most of our dogs are adopted within a month’s time, but your commitment to your foster dog must be that should it take longer than that, you are willing to care for your foster dog until a home is found. We pay for all pre-approved medical care as the health of our dogs is of the utmost importance to us. We have several vets we work closely with throughout the Austin Area and if one is not within a 30 minute drive for you, we will search out and find one that is. We require a two-hour training in your home to address any concerns or questions you may have before fostering your first dog. We provide you with a crate that helps promote housetraining, monthly heartworm and flea preventative. We do require that you bring your foster dog to our monthly Meet and Greets and strongly encourage you to attend additional training that we provide free of charge throughout the year. And we also have a volunteer party each summer and invite you and your entire family to attend because fostering is truly a family affair! If you are interested in volunteering for any of these opportunities, please visit complete an on-line volunteer application OR foster application at WWW.AUSTINDOG.ORG. Thank you for thinking Austin Dog Rescue!]]>

The theme of the project is Organic Gardening. Organic gardening is, at its simplest, the production of plants without the aid of pesticides, herbicides or any kind of artificial, inorganic fertilizers. This type of gardening takes a holistic view of interdependence. The concept of organic gardening embraces as well conservation, avoiding pollution and cooperation with the natural world. This project is organized in collaboration with the newly established Eco village in Temeke to give hand to the various initiatives which are already in place to promote sustainable environment through organic gardening. During the project, volunteers will join the Eco village members and host community on the following activities: - Preparing compost - Establishment of demonstration plots for organic gardening - Raising awareness on the benefits of organic gardening. Extra activities will be teaching, organizing sports, games, arts and crafts for children in the local primary school and orphanage center focusing on environmental conservation awareness. On arrival, the volunteers will receive one day orientation, getting familiar with the culture of the community, understanding various program policies, sharing fears and expectations, team building activities, etc. Study part: During the project, there will be a presentation about the newly established Eco village in Tanzania and how it is anticipated to promote sustainable living. Volunteers are requested to study/research a bit about Eco villages from their home countries or elsewhere and bring some information for sharing. The theme is “Can Eco village be an alternative model for sustainable living” Cultural exchange: Each country or culture presented in the project will have an opportunity to do a presentation. Volunteers are encouraged to be prepared beforehand to present their countries and cultures. Depending on the interest of the participants, the presentation can be in the form of songs, drama, dance, storytelling, speech, etc. Make it more creative and more fun!

Although it remains among the most traditional areas of the country, it is also the poorest and less developed part in terms of infrastructure or industry; creating a huge rural exodus and migration from the Isan inhabitants to Bangkok. The Khueang Nai District administration wants to dynamize the Deng Mor rural areas and stimulate English learning through the international volunteers' presence. The main target group of the project will be young people and children. Inside this larger framework, each project will address the specific target group in different villages in the Deng Mor area. Cultural exchange is the main work of the project. The volunteers will discover the typical Isan culture and traditions, visiting villagers, farmers and local artisans, helping them in their tasks. The volunteers will also hold English teaching workshops for the children of several district villages. The exact nature of the work will depend of the needs of the village at the time of the project. Study theme: The volunteers will learn about the culture of rural Thailand in general and the traditions and specificity of the Isan region. Thai language lessons will also be given to the volunteers. Special requirements: A correct level of English language and the will to teach it to kids is obviously necessary. The volunteers need also to be motivated to discover Thai culture and to present the one of their country of origin. Leisure time: Leisure time will be organised by the volunteers with the support of the group leader. The closest city is far but accessible. The region isn't very tourist attractive as such but the nature is of extraordinary beauty: rice fields, small temples and natural parks are all over the region. New years Eve, according to the Thai Buddhist calendar takes place in April. The volunteers in the April group will have the great chance to attend the ceremonies and festivities in the village with the local population. Accommodation: The volunteers will be hosted in a traditional Isan house in the community and have access to the same basic conditions as any villager. Location: The Deng Mor sub-district area is about 20 km far from Khueang Nai city and 60 km north west of Ubon Ratchatani city, in the Isan region, North east of Thailand.

<![CDATA[ Austin Dog Rescue (WWW.AUSTINDOG.ORG) is seeking Foster Dog Caregivers: We need foster homes in order to save dogs that have been abandoned in shelters and are at a HIGH risk of being euthanized. We are asked time and time again by those that have adopted from us “how did this wonderful dog end up in a shelter with no family to come for them?” We ask ourselves that same question. We are surprised over and over again by how resilient these dogs are and how easily they become acclimated to the good life! And even though they are extremely resilient, it also takes the love, care and patience of a foster caregiver to help each dog to become the dog of their dreams! Austin Dog Rescue provides you with everything you need to be a successful foster caregiver. First and foremost, we provide you with our complete support and truly believe our foster caregivers are the MOST IMPORTANT MEMBER of our TEAM and we all want to work together and meet our goal of locating the best new forever homes for our dogs. In most cases, when a dog is taken in to our care, it is first placed in the home of one of our board members or one of our more experienced foster homes. This gives us a chance to truly evaluate the dog’s behavior and needs before placing it in a foster caregiver’s home. Once we finish our evaluation, we put the call out to open foster homes that a caregiver is needed. We do all we can to set YOU and the DOG up for success! We do ask for a commitment of time and patience from our foster homes. Most of our dogs are adopted within a month’s time, but your commitment to your foster dog must be that should it take longer than that, you are willing to care for your foster dog until a home is found. We pay for all pre-approved medical care as the health of our dogs is of the utmost importance to us. We have several vets we work closely with throughout the Austin Area and if one is not within a 30 minute drive for you, we will search out and find one that is. We require a two-hour training in your home to address any concerns or questions you may have before fostering your first dog. We provide you with a crate that helps promote housetraining, monthly heartworm and flea preventative. We do require that you bring your foster dog to our monthly Meet and Greets and strongly encourage you to attend additional training that we provide free of charge throughout the year. And we also have a volunteer party each summer and invite you and your entire family to attend because fostering is truly a family affair! If you are interested in volunteering for any of these opportunities, please visit complete an on-line volunteer application OR foster application at WWW.AUSTINDOG.ORG. Thank you for thinking Austin Dog Rescue!]]>

Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, space, clean air, nature, culture - and Reykjavik has them in spades. It has the features of a modern, forward-looking society which are complemented by a close connection to beautiful nature. The population of the Reykjavik Capital Area is about 200,000. Reykjavik is spread across a peninsula with a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean on almost all sides. In this time of the year when conditions are favorable you can see the Northern lights (Aurora borealis) glowing curtain of greenish yellow lights, dancing in the distance to a spectacular, multi-colored fusion stretching across the sky. The world’s northernmost capital is framed by the majestic Mt. Esja, which keeps a watchful eye on the city, and the blue waters of Faxafloi Bay. On a sunny day, the mystical Snaefellsjokull glacier appears crystal-like on the western horizon, while mountainous moonscapes spread to the southeast. The international volunteers will visit kindergartens in Reykjavik and introduce different cultures to the kids. One of the tasks of this workcamp is to prepare games, songs and materials for those visits and we kindly ask the participants to bring materials that we can use for the preparation. We will also participate in different types of activites in the centre of Reykjavik; this time of the year the city is usually full of life.

The Youth House School is a small education center for disadvantaged street children and children coming from a poor fishing village, located in the outskirts of Hanoi. The international volunteers will help run the school and will be responsible for keeping the school clean, cooking free lunch for the children, and teaching them basic things about their countries, health, etc. The volunteers will also organize some leisure activities for youth after school. This is a time for cultural exchange and embracing new relationships. The international volunteers will work together with a team of local volunteers, led by a group leader. The volunteers will teach around 15 children every day. Remember, the children are not used to rules and structure in their households, so volunteers must try to implement this by setting an example. The Youth House is also a place where young local people and international volunteers come to explore the cultural diversity, by teaching the children together or organizing leisure activities, such as taking the children to the swimming pool. These activities are combined with projects to help disadvantaged people at the Fisher Village, who are very poor and live in slum-boats on the Red river. This is done by giving them food, medicines, water filters (for clean drinking water), toothpaste, second-hand warm clothes and free showers in winter, etc. The Red River is the biggest river in Vietnam. The delta is located in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. The city continues to expand with many people coming from the countryside into the urban area. This however, is an expensive endeavor with the government imposing a tax on people coming from the rural area to prevent a massive influx of people. Some people decide however to come despite this financial situation and thus must live in house boats at the river to escape from having to pay. Since they do not technically live in Hanoi they must pay for school which is usually free until the age of 12. The entire family must work hours that most people would consider inhumane. The children wander the streets begging and collecting rubbish. An entire family barely makes $2 a day.

The orphanage has a wide variety of courses for children ranging from infants to 18 years old. For example, children between the ages of 6 to 12 will be provided with educational courses, and the older children are able to attend vocational training courses at the centre. While special education helps to lessen the burden of children’s families by teaching the disabled to help themselves with personal activities, the vocational training programs enable handicapped children to earn their living and be able to live independently in the future.

It's a great opportunity to see what a Mock Trial is like firsthand, and my team would buy you dinner and drinks afterward. We need one person (any gender) who is willing to play a slightly sketch college student who is being charged with cyber stalking. Profile: this student has a fascination with Jack the Ripper, and his/her mission in life is to complete research on human reactions to fear, as well as pain and suffering. We also need a witness (any gender) to play a college professor of computer science. The prof is just giving testimony on the background of the campus chatroom in which the stalking was done, and also giving a brief opinion on the facts of the case. Please reply if you're interested! The absolute maximum amount of times we would meet is seven times, assuming we make it to finals. You absolutely do NOT have to commit to every round. If you know you can't make it a certain date, we can find someone else to witness for us. Each trial is two hours long, but you're only going to be called in for about 25 minutes per trial (you can just hang outside doing whatever around the time you're going to be called, and we'll just bring you in when its your time to go.) Also, please forward this to anyone you think might be interested. Thanks a lot!]]>

Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, space, clean air, nature, culture - and Reykjavik has them in spades. Reykjavik offers both the features of a modern and innovative society and the marvelous traits of a unique natural landscape. The population of the Capital Area is about 200,000. It is spread across a peninsula offering a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean from nearly every part of the city. In the summer, you can sit by the harbor at midnight and watch the sun dip slightly below the horizon before it makes its way up again. All around the world photographers are participating in photo marathons. A photo marathon is a competition, where the photographers are given certain topics to interpret within a time limit. This is a socio-cultural event that aims to promote the art of photography and bring together people with all kind of background and knowledge in that field. Any one with an interest in photography can take part - beginners and experienced photographers. The international volunteer team will help organizing this event. Following the photo Marathon, an exhibition will be opened with the most interesting photos. We will help with the preparation of the Photo Marathon, hand out brochures and posters and help with the promotion of the activities. We will than help the participants during the Marathon and afterwards prepare the photo exhibition. A short course in photography will be offered to the volunteers, where they will have the opportunity to improve their skills to capture their memories in an unforgettable way. We will learn how to think about landscape photography from capture to finished image, your ability to create dramatic compositions will become more effortless and you'll learn about what might be holding you back from reaching your full potential as a photographer. The project will be leaded by an experienced photographer. We will also do some environmental work in the area during the project, for example cleaning the coastline and working in the green areas. </td><td> <a href="http://cadip.org/volunteer-in-iceland.htm" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://www.cadip.org/camps/volunteer-iceland-35.jpg"> </a> </td><tr><td> Project language: English Age range: 18 and over More information and enrollment: <a href="http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-iceland.htm" rel="nofollow"> www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-iceland.htm</a> or give us a call: 617-502-0400 (US); 604-628-7400 (Canada) For volunteer opportunities in other countries please go to: <a href="http://www.cadip.org" rel="nofollow">www.cadip.org <img src="http://www.cadip.org/camps/volunteer-iceland-45.jpg"> </a> ]]>

Goa was the former Portuguese colony in India. It is one of India's most cherished and prominent places for travelers since many years for its remarkable palm-fringed beaches; a travelers paradise. Groups of international volunteers along with a local group of specialists have been part of an awareness program all throughout the state for several years. This year again a volunteer project will be conducted but with a different theme. The volunteers will be visiting the schools and rural settlements of the region to present the importance of health and hygiene awareness and the need of education among the adults and the children. The volunteers need to be very creative in designing the exclusive orientation for the people of this region. Volunteers who participate in this project need to bring materials and ideas for the program, after which the whole group will settle on a plan of action decided by the team. The program will be mainly in schools/orphanages where the management will invite the parents and the surrounding villagers to visit and absorb the message given out through the presentations and plays.

They are called "companions". The community provides them with a place where they can live and work. It is a place where people live together in a spirit of solidarity. Some companions live there temporarily while going trough a tough phase in life and the community supports them towards social reinsertion; others see life in the community as an alternative way of life. There are 3 founding principles in all Emmaus Communities: welcoming people (everybody whatever their origin and their past); working, which is seen as fundamental for a sound life and as the way to reinsertion and reconstruction of self esteem; sharing is the third pillar of life in the community. The group of volunteers (max 7 participants) will share the life and activities of the companions, organised around the collecting, fixing and selling of second-hand articles in the community shops. The volunteers will be associated to the daily tasks carried out all year round by the companions. Work from Tuesday to Saturday, days off on Sunday and Monday. Some days, volunteers may work at the Montelimar community, located 35 km South from Valence.

<![CDATA[Austin Dog Rescue (WWW.AUSTINDOG.ORG) is seeking Foster Dog Caregivers: We need foster homes in order to save dogs that have been abandoned in shelters and are at a HIGH risk of being euthanized. We are asked time and time again by those that have adopted from us “how did this wonderful dog end up in a shelter with no family to come for them?” We ask ourselves that same question. We are surprised over and over again by how resilient these dogs are and how easily they become acclimated to the good life! And even though they are extremely resilient, it also takes the love, care and patience of a foster caregiver to help each dog to become the dog of their dreams! Austin Dog Rescue provides you with everything you need to be a successful foster caregiver. First and foremost, we provide you with our complete support and truly believe our foster caregivers are the MOST IMPORTANT MEMBER of our TEAM and we all want to work together and meet our goal of locating the best new forever homes for our dogs. In most cases, when a dog is taken in to our care, it is first placed in the home of one of our board members or one of our more experienced foster homes. This gives us a chance to truly evaluate the dog’s behavior and needs before placing it in a foster caregiver’s home. Once we finish our evaluation, we put the call out to open foster homes that a caregiver is needed. We do all we can to set YOU and the DOG up for success! We do ask for a commitment of time and patience from our foster homes. Most of our dogs are adopted within a month’s time, but your commitment to your foster dog must be that should it take longer than that, you are willing to care for your foster dog until a home is found. We pay for all pre-approved medical care as the health of our dogs is of the utmost importance to us. We have several vets we work closely with throughout the Austin Area and if one is not within a 30 minute drive for you, we will search out and find one that is. We require a two-hour training in your home to address any concerns or questions you may have before fostering your first dog. We provide you with a crate that helps promote housetraining, monthly heartworm and flea preventative. We do require that you bring your foster dog to our monthly Meet and Greets and strongly encourage you to attend additional training that we provide free of charge throughout the year. And we also have a volunteer party each summer and invite you and your entire family to attend because fostering is truly a family affair! If you are interested in volunteering for any of these opportunities, please visit complete an on-line volunteer application OR foster application at WWW.AUSTINDOG.ORG. Thank you for thinking Austin Dog Rescue! ]]>

<![CDATA[I have about 15 youth that are looking for a community project in the area (Leander / Cedar Park) for spring break. The mission trip we were planning fell through and we're anxious to find someone we can help during that week in our local community now. They're mostly middle schoolers. We'd love to see if we can find someone we can help who may be going through a hard time physically with illness or a widow/er that needs help with yard work etc. We'd love to help come weed, or help clean out a garage, paint, mulch, etc. We're not pro's but have a serving heart so please email me if you know of someone that would benefit. The project can only be done within the spring break time-frame (march 13-19) and we'd have to control the days/hours we'd be working. PLEASE do not email me with other offers of employment. We're not interested.]]>

<![CDATA[Our organization, DenimCross, is a new charitable non-profit that has begun working with families and communities across the country to help raise Labrador Retriever pups for eventual work with First Responders in homeland security related operations. Our very first TX pup, a chocolate Lab named "Luna" is being raised by our host family in Austin, and she is now 8 months old. Exposure to a wide array of sights, sounds, and experiences during our pups' first year of life is vitally important to ensuring their success in becoming effective First Responder team members in the future. One of the events that "Luna" will be attending is the "Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo" on March 14 th. Presently we are looking for aspiring or established photographers in the Austin area to volunteer to help us capture and chronicle "Luna's" activities at the rodeo. Hope you can help us, and for more information visit our website at: <a href="http://denimcross.us" rel="nofollow">http://denimcross.us</a> Thanks!! Gene Boyle, Founder/CEO ]]>

<![CDATA[ <a href="http://cadip.org/volunteer-in-indonesia.htm" rel="nofollow"> <h2>Support for disabled children on Bali Island</h2></a> December 5 - December 19, 2009 March 20 - April 3, 2010 Bali Island is a densely populated island, with population more that 3 million people all together. The population is almost all Indonesian, 95% are of Balinese Hindu descent and could be describe as ethic Balinese. Bali is also a tiny, extremely fertile and dramatically mountainous island. It is only 140 km by 80 km. The tourism boom, which started in 1970s has brought many changes and has helped pay for improvement in roads, telecommunication, education and health. Though tourism has had some marked effects, Bali’s unique culture and custom has proved to be remarkably island. Bali disabled School was founded with the aim to cater for the needs of disabled children and youth in Bali and the surrounding areas. Moreover, this school is also aimed to encourage and motivate the disable children and youth to struggle for their future. We would like to host foreign volunteers because we believe that their interaction with the children, during education and vocational classes and other therapeutic activities will be of great benefit as our students have little or no chances to meet and live with people from other cultures. The intercultural dimension that their presence will generate will also be welcomed and valued by the local staffs. The support that the volunteers will give to our teaching staff, particularly those teaching English, will be invaluable. The role of the volunteers will be assisting local teacher in classes like teaching basic conversation in English, helping teacher in giving training on physical activities of the disabled students like making simple handicrafts, playing, doing simple sport etc . Volunteers' influence on students is expected to create a sense of knowledge of other realities of the disabled kids and other cultures in a way that improves their own perception of themselves and what they can achieve. Also to open the mind of international volunteers that the disabled students also need attention to face their future. It will also give opportunity for the international volunteers about the treatment that should be done by the families of disabled children.

Besides creating a renewable raw material, they can help to control soil erosion, flooding and avalanches, help to balance the earth’s atmosphere by carbon sequestration, improve the landscape, support variety of flora and fauna, and offer opportunities for leisure and recreation. The forests along Kilimanjaro Mountain slopes have been affected so much by human activities, including animal feeding, bush fire, cutting wood for domestic energy, construction and business. The impact of these practices has been very visible which includes water sources and streams drying up, disappearing of various important tree species, change of seasons, draught, etc. This project is organized in collaboration with the local environment management committee to give hand to the various initiatives which are already in place to serve the forest. Among many activities, the volunteers will be involved in: - Replanting trees in open spaces in the forest - Establishment of tree nurseries - Environmental education and awareness Additional activities will include teaching, organizing sports, games, arts and crafts for children in the local primary schools, focusing on environmental education. On arrival, the volunteers will receive one day orientation, getting familiar with the culture of the community, understanding various program policies, sharing fears and expectations, team building activities, etc. Cultural exchange: Each country or culture presented in the project will have an opportunity to do a presentation. Volunteers are encouraged to be prepared beforehand to present their countries and cultures.
