Hello everybody,

I´m a 33 years old german woman, looking for a social work project in the range of helping streetkids or homeless teenagers.

I´m developed in social work, an I allready worked for years in different places in Germany.

Maiby anybody, have worked there, or can give me any information about non comercial projects or agencys.

I dont have to much money!

My spanish is getting better every day :-)

I could even teach german.

Thanks for helping

Don't let naysayers like this guy get you down. It may be difficult to find a good volunteer posting, but the above reply is simply poor reasoning. Did the original poster say anything about getting paid? Are all of "the locals" reading thorn tree regularly too and thereby becoming jaded about the glut of posts?

Try www.idealist.org; it might be useful for your search. good luck!

If you've searched the net you have probably come across it but...www.volunteersouthamerica.net/ is excellent for low cost and free volunteering in SA which are pretty grass root and non commerical. In Cusco i worked with street kids for for a while but it was only a few hours a day, there are others listed on the website that provide more involved work. I noticed organisations like InsightArgentina take qualified volunteers without a fee and i imagine it would be the case with many others. I've done other projects in the Sacred Valley and i have never recieved anything but gratitude and i think there is a great distinction between those who might head out to SA as if it were Australia looking for paid work, and those who are trying to make a contribution to the community rather than take jobs and gloat about their superiority. I agree with the previous post, by all means look for social work opportunities, from what i have seen your offer will be most appreciated. good luck!
