All volunteers who came were all really fun and everyone who works at Voluntario Global is lovely – I can’t wait to come back again!

Hi! I'm Kim and I’ve just finished volunteering at Voluntario Global as the Responsible Tourism Co-ordinator, working with the volunteers to help them get the most out of their stay in Buenos Aires. Working in the office of Voluntario Global was a very interesting and rewarding experience, giving me the opportunity to see how the organisation is run and get to know everyone who works there. When new volunteers arrived I helped with their introduction meeting, where we explained about the organisation and projects, as well as giving them tips on how to survive in this big city! Following the presentation I took the volunteers on a tour of Plaza del Congreso, explaining about the buildings and history around the plaza. One of the best aspects of the volunteering experience was organising weekly volunteer activities…from football matches and tango shows to experiencing the BA’s great night life or seeing Oscar winning Argentine films, there was always something to do in this buzzing city. Overall it was fantastic, the volunteers who came were all really fun and everyone who works at Voluntario Global is lovely – I can’t wait to come back again! Check out photos of our events on facebook!!

A School Two Blocks Down

  • BYS Academy: The Background

Silvia has the essence of everyone's favorite aunt, greeting you with the hug of a lifelong friend. She is the owner of BYS Academy, an English school she founded in 2005 to create an affordable educational opportunity for the students of her neighborhood, two blocks from Estancia Ing. Pablo Nogués, right behind the small shopping center. Her laughter is the last thing that would tell you how close she came to losing all of it through an economic crisis and without government funding.

Now the school functions as a cooperative in tandem with Voluntario Global. Graduated students return as volunteer teachers to gain work experience for formal jobs. Their work is supplemented by volunteers from Voluntario Global, and this is where Victor and I enter.

Halfway through my internship and teaching experience, I’ve been given more than I thought possible. I’ve been given complexity, understanding and hope in so many different capacities from others and all of it happened through Voluntario Global.

Pensar el voluntariado como una experiencia colectiva

Siempre decimos que el voluntariado es un proceso de aprendizaje, y un proceso de aprendizaje jamás sucede de manera aislada. Por lo tanto el voluntariado también es una experiencia colectiva.
