Learning Planet Is Now Recruiting Volunteers
We're looking for volunteers of all kinds. You can join us for just a couple of weeks, or stay for a year. And you don't have to decide how much time you want to commit, until you arrive.
We need Teachers!
If you have teaching qualifications (e.g. a TEFL) we'd love to hear from you.
If you want a change, and you feel like working in a magical environment, please take our QUESTIONNAIRE to see this is for you.
If you have other experience working with children, we'd also be very interested to know more. Please get in touch.
Other Skills we're Looking For
 |
| Read about Henrique Te Veiga Winkel's volunteer experience. |
 By organizing an event guided by our toolkit, you help urgently spread the word about microfinance so more women like this small business owner can benefit. |
IF YOU have expertise in engineering, design or construction, renewable energy, midwifery, water treatment & sanitation, farming, horticulture, plant or food science, or banking & micro finance, we'd be delighted to have you for as much time as you can spare.
No contribution is too little. Just a few hours from your desk at home could help one of our projects get off the ground. But if you can spare a few weeks holiday in Nepal - even better!
If you have other skills not listed, and if you think you can help our projects, the school, the children or the community at large, please TELL US WHAT YOU CAN DO>
