The volunteers will work in village schools, organising educational and cultural exchange activities for the students to help them improve their English. Games will also be used as a tool for encouraging the kids to speak English. During school holidays (from mid January to the end of February and from mid July to the end of August), the volunteers will work with children in children centres.
Another task for the group will be the renovation and protection of some historic buildings in Gongcheng. This may involve repairing a stone road, clearing a yard or work on small gardens around the buildings, etc.
The volunteers will also help start a recycling bank in the area. First, they will help build and operate the recycling bank where the garbage can be separated or incinerated. Then the volunteers will run a campaign in the nearby villages about garbage separation and recycling, and the importance of keeping the environment clean. The volunteers can use their creativity and imagination to demonstrate that recycling can be fun, e.g making a fish from plastic bottle or paper, making a small flower from straw, making an apron from milk box. The group can also help to make recycle bins.

Digital storytelling is the practice of using computers (and other bits of technology like cameras and smartphones and scanners) to create and tell our own stories. We're holding a two day digital storytelling workshop on Feb 21 + Feb 22, 10-4. In this workshop, you'll have the chance to create your own story about pregnancy and smoking - to tell a story about your experiences of being a smoker and woman, experiences of pregnancy and being a new mom, experiences with friends and health care providers related to smoking, stories of trying to quit smoking, succeeding, failing, thinking about quitting...well, you get the idea.
You'll have the chance to
* Meet other women and hear about their experiences around smoking and pregnancy
* Share your story with a broader audience - other women, physicians, nurses, midwives and others who work with pregnant women and new moms
* Learn a new skill that you can take home and use in your own life (and maybe impress all your friends)
Lunch and an honorarium ($100/day) are provided.
If you're pregnant or have had a baby within the past 18 months and have tried to or quit smoking during this time and this sounds interesting to you, let us know. Contact Eliza at 604-875-2424 ext.

Reforestation activities in the Solheimar Eco-village
April 4 - April 15, 2012May 6 - May 19, 2012
Solheimar is a sustainable community where about 100 people live and work together. Solheimar community emphasizes on the growth and development of man and nature. The social emphasis is that different individuals are offered variable opportunities to work, live and socialize.
The activity in Solheimar is versatile. In the village, there are organic greenhouses, both for vegetable cultivation and the only organic forestry in Iceland. There is also a shop/gallery in Solheimar, a cafι, a bakery, guesthouses and many art venues throughout the year. There are six workshops in the village: a candle workshop, ceramics, weaving, carpentry, fine art atelier and an herbal workshop that makes soaps, creams, paper, etc.
In Solheimar you will find a church, a sculpture garden, an arboretum, sports hall, gym and a swimming pool, a music garden, an art gallery and during the summer and for Advent a cultural festival with different venues; music, fine art, theater etc. The Eco-center Sesseljuhus was opened in 2002 where most conferences, meetings and other gatherings are held both for the village and visitors. Today, Sσlheimar (the home of the sun) is a charming village renowned for its international, artistic and ecological atmosphere, which prides itself on its varied cultural, social and sporting activities. The village is only a one-hour drive from Reykjavik. The volunteers have free access to the swimming pool and the gym.
The volunteers will be working in the Φlur Forestry Centre (the only organic reforestation centre in Iceland). We will help the workers to take care and transplant trees and to do some actual reforestation work in the surroundings. Other tasks may arise depending on the needs of the community.

However, I am an eager learner and would welcome the opportunity to volunteer in other historical areas or even non-history based institutions. My specialist training includes knowledge of project planning, audience research, marketing, exhibition development, and collections management. . .all of which can be applied in a wide variety of heritage or arts settings. I also understand vitally important interpretation issues such cross-cultural engagement.
I speak English (native speaker) and French (ten years of immersion supplemented by five semesters in university). I have a valid driver's license and also possess clerical experience that includes answering phones, greeting people, data entry, and the use of standard office equipment. I am proficient with all versions of Windows and MS Office. I also have experience using proprietary software systems.

To some the Daffodil is just a flower... But to us, it is a bright and hopeful symbol of support for people living with cancer. It tells them no one has to face cancer alone. It says we won't give up until cancer is defeated.
April is Daffodil Month and The Canadian Cancer Society is currently looking for individuals to help with their Daffodil Campaign in April.
There are two different ways to get involved: Street Teams or Pin Distribution
Street Team's are out on the streets and in malls in your community throughout April raising funds for The Society by distributing Daffodil pins and fresh flowers to the public for a donation. We ask that each volunteer commits to two-four hour shifts. Volunteer individually or with a group of friends.
Daffodil Pin boxes are located in businesses at various points of sale to raise funds and bring awareness to The Society and our mission. Pin Distribution Team's are responsible for servicing and maintaining the Daffodil Pin boxes by collecting donations from the boxes as well as ensuring there are enough pins throughout the month of April. This role usually takes approximately 2 hours per week during April.
If you are interested and you are looking for more information, please contact us by replying to this post!
In the meantime, please visit YouTube and type in "Daffodil Day 2011 Art Gallery Vancouver". It may just give you the inspiration you need to get involved!

Yoga is a complete science of life that originated in India several thousands of years ago. It is the oldest system of personal development in the world, encompassing the entire body, mind and spirit. It is the union between a person's own consciousness and the universal consciousness. The classical techniques of Yoga date back more than 5,000 years. The word Yoga means "to join or yoke together," and it brings the body and mind together into one harmonious experience.
International volunteers will be learning the Basics of Yoga and Ayurveda in these three weeks of the project. Every day, there will be topics covered by a professional master (the person in charge of yoga and ayurveda classes), which will be practiced by the volunteers. Yoga will be practiced every day.
Apart from this, volunteers will also help in spreading awareness among the locals on issues like Health and Hygiene, environmental protection, solid waste management etc. Volunteers will need to be creative in their approach to give out the message through dramas and street plays. Volunteers who participate in this project need to bring materials and ideas for the program. The volunteer group will decide together on a plan of action.

Cadip volunteer project review: "I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 wk. project in South India. I didn't want it to end. As I am very passionate about children, yoga, and holistic modalities this was the perfect project for me. I also met new international friends and had many cultural exchanges with them and the children at St. Mary's school. This was a life changing experience for me and I plan to return to India in the future to study and live at a yoga ashram. I was fortunate enough to visit and stay at Amma's ashram near Allepey for a couple of days after the project finished. I personally think Kerala, South India is pure love! The head sister at the school was so warm and welcoming as were the people in Kannur. We learned about some of the Indian traditions and celebrations from our coordinator and team leader as well. I highly recommend this project if you are passionate about children, holistic practices and have an open mind. Thank you." Lisa Z.

Preserving the culture of the hill tribes in Northern Thailand
- February 6 - February 19, 2012
March 19 - April 1, 2012

October 8 - October 21, 2012
November 26 - December 9, 2012
December 23, 2012 - January 6, 2013
The main aims of the project are to promote the distinct Akha culture between international volunteers and to establish a real intercultural encounter between the volunteers and the local people. Through common activities and free time, the volunteers will have the possibility to learn more about the situation of the hill tribes and the Akha in particular.
The main objective of the project is cultural exchange between the volunteers and the local villagers but the participants of the project will also practically work in the communities doing several kinds of support and development works, like renovation of some community spaces or field work and farming with the villagers. The exact nature of the work will depend of the needs of the village at the moment of the project.
Participating in the Hill tribe volunteer project in Northern Thailand gives you the opportunity to meet local rural communities while also giving you the chance to really understand the culture and traditions of this fascinating part of Thailand. The work is very diverse, from construction to teaching and working with the villagers. Volunteers are expected to be flexible about the nature of the work as it can vary according to the need of the community. The essence of this project is to spend time with the Hill tribes and learn about their culture.
The volunteers will learn about Akha culture, lifestyle, particularities and problematic situation in Thailand from the inside and from Akha people themselves. An introduction to Akha and Thai language is foreseen.

Mysore is a city in the state of Karnataka in South India. It was the erstwhile capital of the Wodeyar dynasty and is considered the cultural capital of the state. The city has recorded history dating back a thousand years and a mythical history which explains the origin of the name - apparently, this was the place where the demon Mahishasura was slain by the Goddess Chamundi. You will find a statue of the demon on Chamundi hill which commemorates this event.
In the frame of the project, the volunteers will be working with the tribal community in the field of education, renovation, environmental protection, reforestation, tree planting, spreading health and hygiene awareness among the tribal villages. We will be working together in building a more peaceful and working environment with the help of a local organization. Volunteers will need to be creative in their approach to give out the message through drama and street plays. Volunteers who participate in this project need to bring materials and ideas for the program on their arrival, after which the whole group will settle on a common plan of action.
Volunteers should be 18 years old and over

Support for HIV/AIDS orphans and vulnerable children
The project is organized together with Suvia Children's Home. The Home was started in 2006 to help orphans and vulnerable children in Machakos and Mbooni districts whose parents were affected by HIV/AIDS and poverty. The home currently houses girls only but also helps boys in terms of providing education. We would like to show these children that people do care for them and give them hope through education and Christian upbringing.During the initial orientation, the objectives and expectations of the program will be presented to the volunteers. The volunteers will be involved in taking care of the kids, including activities such as teaching them the alphabet and numbers, singing, drawing and making craft, assisting in daily work. The volunteers may also assist in some construction activities.
No particular expertise or skills required. Participants should have a positive attitude, be ready to adopt and enjoy simple living conditions, be flexible and patient. However, specialized skills and expertise (such as early childhood education, teaching math, English, sciences, tutoring) will be used accordingly. Volunteers are expected to love kids and be motivated to spend time with them.
Duration of the project: The program will run for a minimum of 1 month and a maximum of 6 months. The program is running throughout the year.
Orientation meeting will take place in Nairobi before proceeding to the project.

We are a dog rescue group and have been operating for nearly 40 years,
We urgently seek foster homes for dogs known as Sporting or Gun Dogs, such as:
Labs, Pointers, Weimaraners,Vizslas, Setters, etc.
These are high energy dogs, excellent for hiking, running, daily jogging, retrieving. We also help out with Hound rescue
and rescue senior dogs. This is the time of year that people start dumping their old dogs because they promised their kids a puppy
for Christmas. There is nothing more rewarding than providing a loving home for an abandoned older dog! They are so
appreciative!
If you have the time, energy, commitment and a love of dogs - plus an appropriate, safe home, you can help save the life
of one of the 50,000 dogs killed in North America every day.
Please consider volunteering with the rescue and rehoming of these lovely breeds of dogs.
Home and reference checks are necessary for all adoptive and foster parents.

Taking care of handicapped children and improving the living conditions in Hai Duong welfare center
May 14 - May 26, 2012
Hai Duong welfare center was established in March 1982. With about 1000 disabled and disadvantaged children coming from many parts of Hai Duong province, it's the biggest center of this type in the north of Vietnam. In the welfare center, the children are handicapped in many different ways. Some are deaf mute, some are mentally disabled, physically disabled, or both. The center aims to provide compulsory education and vocational training, to create employment opportunities for the children. The center has a wide variety of courses for children of different age groups, ranging from infants to 18 years old. For example, children between the ages of 6 to 12 are provided with educational courses, and the older children are able to attend vocational training courses at the center. Furthermore, the center is helping to look for job opportunities for the children when they finish their courses.
Volunteer help is needed in different areas. One of the main tasks is improving the quality of the center in order to make it a better living place for the children. The project activities include renovating the building by painting the walls and cleaning up the dormitories for the children. The volunteers will also organize interesting and meaningful leisure activities for the orphaned and disabled children, with the aim to enrich their daily life in the center and to give them a chance to open their minds to the outside world. The children have different skills and difficulties, so the activities must be adapted to them. You are expected to be imaginative and flexible. With one more or one less rule in a game, you can make it more accessible to all of them.
Project language: English
Age range: 18 and over
Location: Hai Duong city is about 60 km away from Ha Noi, the capital of Vietnam.

I have had the crazy idea to introduce a Vegetarian Day to Vancouver :-)
I am vegetarian, mostly vegan, myself and I would love to see this city going vegetarian once a week. The reasons are obvious: everyone's health, protecting the environment and saving animals.
I am working on a strategy at the moment and I would love to enrol some people in this project. More thinking heads, more creative ideas, better results :-)
I do not have a fixed plan yet and I am curious about what YOU think. Please email me if you would like to to be part of this project or if you would just like to comment on the idea. I am looking forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
Stephanie
