What you gain from volunteering

Personal satisfaction - By giving your time to underprivileged children and widows, you will gain a deep sense of satisfaction that you have helped bring joy to their otherwise harsh lives and increase the chance that they will be able to escape the cycle of poverty into which they were.

Personal attention - Because we are a growing organization, we can get to know you personally so we can most effectively harness your energy and the skills you bring to our activities. This allows us to give you the attention you may need if you have questions or encounter difficulties and ensure that you will have a positive experience with us.

Strong relationships - Working in small groups, you’ll have the chance to build strong relationships with fellow volunteers, the staff and the children in the communities we serve.

Fun - Through volunteering, you will meet new people and make many new friends.

Make a Difference - Help people. The impact that Avaldora Help Foundation volunteers make in the community cannot be overlooked.
