Description

Offering the most varied and striking terrain of almost any South American country, come to gorgeous Venezuela to see the Andes shrouded in snow, the tantalising Caribbean beaches where jungle cascades down to the shore, the indescribable depths of the vast Amazon rainforest, and the eerie beauty of Gran Sabana with its unique flat topped mountains. Experience Latin American fiesta spirit as you dance the night away in one of Venezuela's traditional live music bars, sample outstanding fresh fish as you watch the Caribbean sunset.

* What Will I Be Doing?

The volunteer village requires constant maintenance and there is always a need for experienced carpenters to provide a help and mentoring for other volunteers allowing them to conduct this highly valuable construction work.

There is a fully stocked workshop within the village which you will be able to use in your daily activities which could involve you in anything from the construction of new buildings to carrying out repairs, or making furniture for the volunteers' rooms or desks for the new school.

This is the ideal opportunity to use your skills to enable volunteers to continue their work in helping local communities.

Highlights

* See some of the most striking terrain in South America!
* Contribute to highly valuable construction work.
