Volunteer Abroad in Romania - United Planet - 2-12 Weeks

by: United Planet

5 (1)VerifiedSince 2001

Volunteer in the sunniest destination of Europe, Romania, where you’ll choose between educational and health projects. The Carpathian Mountains and the Black Sea offer Romania a diverse natural landscape blended with medieval towns, castles, and picturesque terrain. Plus, the locals are friendly, making your entire experience truly rewarding and meaningful. As a volunteer in Romania, you’ll have the opportunity to support kids at an orphanage in Valea Screzii, a village near the Carpathian Mountains. Expect to see carts and horses, as life in the village hasn’t changed much over the last hundred years. If you’re a licensed doctor, you can volunteer at a small clinic at the orphanage. Help with the treatment of small injuries as well as with inoculations and dispensing of medicines. United Planet also offers virtual volunteering and virtual internships in Romania.

Program Highlights

Dive into the rich history of Romania and see beautiful architecture, including Dracula’s castle in Bran.

Stay in a house with other volunteers and make new friends you’ll treasure for life!

Stay on the scenic foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, where you can go for a hike in your free time.

Volunteer for two weeks or more and receive one hour of Romanian language lessons.

Enjoy popular local dishes, such as sarmale (stuffed cabbage roll) and mămăligă (cornmeal porridge)!

The plans were excellent

However due to medical reasons I had to leave early and was not able to attend. This is entirely my own fault, not because I was unable to go, I can't really rate the excursion. The plans were excellent and I'm sure the trip would have been excellent.
