On-site volunteers - Share your advice, and list organisations that could send volunteers to Omiito

Status: Finished
Step: 
2

As well as tourists, several groups in the Omiito area would like to receive on-site volunteers. These include three schools, a health centre, a microfinance organisation and IDA, the organisation coordinating the coomunity tourism project.

More details of the types of volunteers required can be found in this document.

Have you worked as an on-site volunteer?
Are you part of a local community group that has received volunteers?
Do you work for an organisation that sends volunteers to projects in developing countries?

If so, we would like to hear your experiences. What advice do you have to offer about what does, and what does not, make a successful volunteer assignment, and the best ways to find suitable volunteers.

We are also looking for organisations that send volunteers to projects in Uganda, especially those that are looking for new partner groups who want volunteers. As well as posting details here, please add them to the associated Shared Work Document.

Re: List 50 organisations that deal with work camps

Dear neighbours,

I have found two organizations that operate volunteer work camps:
- Global Crossroad (http://www.globalcrossroad.com)
- SCI (http://www.ongsci.org)

I have already introduced them in the wiki.

Greetings,

Elsa.

The Uganda Pioneer's Association located in Kampala, Uganda looks like a valuable partner. They link Uganda communities with many international work camp organizations. They can explain what the community must set up for the volunteers such as food, accomodation, work and social activities. They also arrange the listing for the work camp with various international agencies.

Re: On-site volunteers - Share your advice, and list organisations that could send volunteers to Omiito
Mon, 2008/11/24 - 18:54

This task was originally about finding organisations that organise work camps.

As the focus has now changed to finding individual volunteers for schools, health centres and other organisations in the area Ihave updated the description to reflect this.

I decided to keep this task open instead of creating a new one, as some of the information found before may still be relevant.

-------

As well as tourists, several groups in the Omiito area would like to receive on-site volunteers. These include three schools, a health centre, a microfinance organisation and IDA, the organisation coordinating the coomunity tourism project.

More details of the types of volunteers required can be found in this document.

Have you worked as an on-site volunteer?
Are you part of a local community group that has received volunteers?
Do you work for an organisation that sends volunteers to projects in developing countries?
If so, we would like to hear your experiences. What advice do you have to offer about what does, and what does not, make a successful volunteer assignment, and the best ways to find suitable volunteers.

We are also looking for organisations that send volunteers to projects in Uganda, especially those that are looking for new partner groups who want volunteers. As well as posting details here, please add them to the associated Shared Work Document.

This could be a good way of getting some longer-stay skilled volunteers on site to assist with various IDA projects.

As Dominique visits before making a decision on whether they can send volunteers, it would also be a good opportunity for community members to talk to someone who could give advice on how volunteers can help, what they would expect from you etc.

Hi Sabbath

If you are interested in receiving volunteers for Acoke or any other projects in Lira, contact DAC and see what they say.

And you should probably post your progress updates directly to Nabuur Acoke village!

I know you had outside volunteers at the computer centre. What advice would you give to Stella about finding good sources of volunteers, and about the things that they were able to assist with?

Mary
