Original Volunteers has been organising volunteer placements for more than 6,000 volunteers since 2006. Working in areas of need across Africa, Asia and Latin America, we match volunteers to projects which can utilise their skills and motivations. We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds. We support all our volunteers to participate effectively and give whatever time and skills they have. Volunteers participate for between 1 and 24 weeks and support is provided with daily living and volunteering arrangements. http://www.originalvolunteers.co.uk
