<![CDATA[ <a href="http://cadip.org/volunteer-in-indonesia.htm" rel="nofollow"> <h2>Support for disabled children on Bali Island</h2></a>July 24 - August 7, 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.

<![CDATA[Children's Hospital Boston Research Study We are a group of doctors and researchers from the Developmental Medicine Center, the Division of Genetics, the Department of Neurology, and the Program in Genomics at Children's Hospital Boston. Together we are working towards gaining an enhanced understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other related disorders. We collaborate with other health professionals locally, nationally, and internationally to achieve insight into these complex disorders. A number of sources fund our efforts, including the Simons Foundation, the Autism Consortium of Boston, and the National Institute of Mental Health. We are studying ASD and related disorders in order to better understand why they occur, increase our ability for early identification, and find improved treatments. In our study we look at information such as medical history, current symptoms, and genetic make-up. While we are gathering and analyzing information to answer questions about ASD, we also hope to develop training and teaching tools for those who work with children and their families affected by these disorders. With the number of children diagnosed with ASD progressively rising, now is the time to explore the causes and seek better treatment. We need to raise awareness of these disorders and improve services and options for individuals and families impacted by ASD. We depend on families like yours to make this happen! If you would like to learn more, please call our research assistants or visit our website.

At the Labs of Cognitive Neuroscience (LCN) at Children’s Hospital Boston, we are working to shed light on such questions by learning more about brain and behavior development in infants, children, and adolescents. In gaining a better understanding of these processes, our goal is to contribute to the healthy growth and development of our children. To help us achieve this goal, we would like to invite you to join our growing registry of families who are interested in participating in research. Your participation could provide us with valuable information on children’s development. Joining the registry does not obligate you to participate in any studies; it just gives us a way to let you know when there is a study in your child’s age range. Most of our studies offer compensation, free child care for siblings, and a small gift for your child. Convenient, free parking is also available by our Longwood Medical Area location (MBTA Green Line “D”). Detailed information about our studies and our registry can be found on our website.

<![CDATA[ <table><tr><td> <a href="http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-zambia.htm" rel="nofollow"> <h2> Environmental preservation of the mighty Victoria Falls </h2> </a> <dl><dd> July 4 - July 17, 2010</dd></dl> Livingstone is the tourist capital of Zambia. It is home to the Victoria Falls, one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders. It is also a very historic city with many relics from a bygone era. It has a railway museum and the Livingstone museum is worth visiting. The Mosi-O-Tunya National Park is home to the endangered Black Rhino. The Victoria Falls are among the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. The Zambezi River, which is more than 2 km wide at this point, plunges noisily down a series of basalt gorges and raises an iridescent mist that can be seen more than 20 km away. Below the falls the river enters a narrow series of basaltic gorges. The fragile ecosystem of the riverine rainforest within the waterfalls splash zone is also of particular interest. The aim of the volunteer project is the preservation of Victoria Falls as one of the most important natural heritage sites. The volunteers will be involved in the maintenance of foot paths and trails at the Victoria falls area. The renovated foot paths will guarantee improved accessibility to the site for both the tourists and the members of the local communities. The volunteers will also help renovate a community school in Chief Mukuni’s village. Location: Livingstone is 600 km away from Lusaka and is serviced by road and air. It has its own International airport. Arrival remark: Volunteers attending the project should arrive two days before its commencement to attend an orientation meeting.

Volunteers should have some concert experience, a comfort level with handling money, be responsible and friendly with patrons. Volunteers interested in videography are also needed. All volunteers receive free admission to the concert they work for and are invited to other events throughout the year. We are also seeking volunteers interested in leadership opportunities with Cappella CLAUSURA, including marketing, community outreach, fundraising, audience development, and board membership Email manager@clausura.org for more information or to apply. Cappella CLAUSURA is an ensemble of sopranos, altos, and early music instruments in Boston whose goal is to research and bring to light works written by women from the 8th century to the present day. Our intention is to dispel the notion that there are not now nor have there ever been gifted women composers. While we perform music by all women composers, and champion living composers, we concentrate on repertoire by women in the cloister, or in clausura, during the Italian baroque period because it was an extraordinary time when women were allowed, by fluke of historical personalities and fashion, to express themselves spiritually and artistically, and most importantly, to be published. History has been blind and deaf to these remarkable works; Cappella Clausura brings vision and voice to them. <a href="http://clausura.org/" rel="nofollow">http://clausura.org/</a>]]>

<![CDATA[<table><tr><td> <a href="http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-iceland.htm" rel="nofollow"> <h1> Photography and environment in the Western fjords</h1></a> May 28 - June 11, 2010 The “Westfjords” are situated in the Northwest part of Iceland, reaching out almost to Greenland – therefore the most westerly part of Europe. The landscape here is majestic, with fjord after fjord, towering above shore and sea, each and every fjord has its own distinctive character and tiny fishing villages nestle at their foot. It is an ideal place for hikers and all nature lovers, in summer and winter alike. Seals bask on the rocks, huge colonies of seabirds are seen and the king of the skies, the white-tailed eagle may be watching over. The project will mainly take place in Nupur which used to be a boarding school in the past but now it is a hotel and a University. The cozy school buildings are surrounded by beautiful mountains with a view over the Alps of Westfjords and the blue seas of Dyrafjordur. The area around Nupur is ideal to get to know the Icelandic nature. You can take a walk to Skrudur, the oldest botanic gardens in Iceland or hike in the mountains. The area has a great variety of birds and footpaths for those who are interested in Icelandic wild life. The purpose of this project is to improve the skills of the participants 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. We will also make some videos during those two weeks. In this project, you'll learn how to better express your vision and how to digitally optimize your images in such a way that anyone who views it will be attracted to the same qualities that drew you into the scene. We will work with different themes from day to day and every evening we will watch the photos together to evaluate the work. In the end of the project, we will put up an exhibition in a public place. The project will be leaded by an experienced photographer. You should bring your cameras with you to the project. We will also do some environmental work in the area during the project, for example cleaning the coastline and working in the green areas.

We have another way to practice stepping outside the box.  Help us collect signatures. I'm Rob McCarthy and am running for U.S. Congress in the 6th Congressional District of Massachusetts.  The communities in the 6th District are listed below, but  most are in Essex County and some in Middlesex County. I'm asking volunteers to stand outside supermarkets and post offices and ask people to sign my nomination papers. It is easy to do, but does require stepping outside the "comfort zone" for some. For those who would feel more comfortable, simple ask your family, friends and relatives to sign the nomination papers.  Either way your help would be greatly appreciated, valued and you will be helping to continue the tradition of our democratic process. We'll let you know what to say and where to stand. Please respond to this Craigslist posting to volunteer or to request more information.  We'll get right back to you. Thank you!

<![CDATA[Discovery Studios is producing a new documentary style series which will air on TLC. It is setting out to help families whose lives have been disrupted by chronic disorganization and compulsive hoarding. We’re looking for people who are willing to share their stories on camera and want to get professional help to organize their clutter and change their lives. The goal of the series is to promote better understanding of what compulsive hoarding and acquiring is, what steps can be taken to deal with the issue, and how a comprehensive exploration of this common problem can lead to positive change for the people involved. The documentary style series will explore various facets of hoarding through the personal stories of people who hoard and those affected by it. Situations could involve one or multiple people hoarding in the same family; people attempting to cope with a hoarding issue. We understand the very personal, and sometimes embarrassing, nature of this issue. Our series will treat all program participants with respect and compassion. For those willing to participate, we are offering therapy with top mental health professionals as well as professional organizers to help start the de-cluttering process. If you are interested in discussing the project further with the producers please contact us at: E-mail: tlchoarding@gmail.com Phone: 240-662-4163. ]]>

Sadly there are very few animals in the area due to illegal game hunting and poaching. It is located 170 km East of Lusaka. The community is very small and yet has many orphans. Many parents have been killed by HIV or malaria, other could not get proper health care. The community came together and founded the Blessed Hope orphanage. It is run by members of the community and it has gotten some funds from the Government. However, these funds are not enough to enable them to complete the construction of the orphanage. The volunteers will continue the construction of the dormitory for the children that was started last year. This work will involve carrying sand on wheel barrows from a nearby stream to the project site, moving blocks from the place they were made to the site. Then the volunteers will construct the dorms. Volunteers will also make visits to the local school and the high school nearby. Accommodation: The volunteers will be accommodated in locally made huts. The project site is located far from town and so volunteers would have to get essential supplies whilst still in Lusaka. Arrival remark: Volunteers attending the project should arrive two days before its commencement to attend an orientation meeting.

It is mainly funded by the Central Java department of health and closely cooperates with the statutory health services and the Faculty of Medicine of the Diponegoro University. 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. The 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.
