As a volunteer, you will discover the unique opportunity of visiting the real world beyond the tourist window and become immersed (沉浸) in the cultures you visit. For many travelers, this time spent working on meaningful projects and getting to know the local area and its people is often regarded as their most memorable, enjoyable and fulfilling experience.
Who can volunteer?
Kaya volunteers are 18-80 years old people with an adventurous spirit. Whether you have time for a 2-week trip or a 6-month break, traveling on your own, with a group or with your family, or you are a student, taking a break from your study or have even retired, they will find a project that can use your help.
What types of projects can you do?
Kaya's project advisers work with you to decide which project is best for you and what type of work you like to do. You can work in the following fields:
*Environmental preservation—From the Ecuadorian rainforest to the jungle of Thailand, repair the damage done to some of the most beautiful and diverse places on earth.
*Work with children—They have over 40 projects working with children across the world in orphanages, schools and shelters for the abused, and the disabled.
*Sports—Through sports their projects can provide opportunities for health education and the development of life skills such as teamwork, communication, discipline and self confidence.
*Education—From English teaching to education programs for special needs and minority groups, give greater opportunity to the disadvantaged through education.
All projects include airport pick-ups and drop-offs, accommodation, orientation and 24-hour support. Many of their placements also include all meals and some language classes so that you can get even more involved.
