The International Humanity Foundation (IHF) is seeking forward-thinking, dynamic individuals of all ages/backgrounds to contribute to our international centers as part of our Voluntourist program. IHF runs children’s homes in Nakuru, Kenya and Chiang Rai, Thailand, as well as education centers in Bali, Banda Aceh, Jakarta and Medan, Indonesia. As a Voluntourist, you would gain hands-on experience with an international not-for-profit NGO at the ground level and contribute your time and talents to substantially helping provide better opportunities for young students.
You will complete four hours of at-center work a day. These tasks vary from center to center, day to day. At our Indonesian education centers, you will teach English to young students for whom English is a tool to secure better jobs in the future. In our children’s homes in Thailand and Kenya, daily tasks will include assisting with homework and organizing projects and activities for the children. At all centers, you will provide the co-Directors with needs-based assistance in the daily maintenance of the centers, becoming a part of the IHF family and integral to the work we do.
This is an ideal opportunity to gain firsthand experience in international development, but still have time to explore a new place and culture. In Indonesia, our centers offer unique insights into Balinese Hinduism, the busy capital of Jakarta, or beautiful and wild Sumatra. Our Kenya center is close to numerous wildlife parks and safaris, while our Thailand center is in the vicinity of incredible temples, waterfalls and scenery. You will have plenty of time to visit these incredible settings, but work must remain a priority. By both volunteering and sightseeing, you will have a unique experience, and hopefully you will leave our center with a better understanding of your surroundings and IHF as an organization.
Candidate Qualifications: You must be fluent in written and spoken English. We value volunteers who are creative and innovative, willing to take responsibility and easily adapt to new conditions and unexpected situations. Each IHF center is a product of its environment and follows the cultural code and norms of its host country. So must our staff and interns. Our volunteers must have high inter-cultural sensitivity and be tolerant to different views and ways of life.
Voluntourists stay at least 2 weeks. We provide basic accommodation and food at our centers, where you will live with your co-workers. Unfortunately, as a nonprofit, we are unable to provide these amenities freely and we charge a minimal cost of $150 per week. We are not able to cover travel or insurance expenses or any other related costs, but we will help you with your travel and visa planning.
If you have any questions at this time, feel free to e-mail one of our helpful volunteers at volunteering@ihfonline.org. If you’re ready to apply, send your CV to applications@ihfonline.org.
Recent graduate looking for a long-term volunteer management opportunity? IHF is looking for hard-working, dedicated volunteers to commit their time and talents for one year in one of our 6 children’s homes and education centers in Indonesia, Thailand and Kenya. Your role will be to manage the day-to-day maintenance of the center’s programs and initiatives alongside an international staff, in the effort to provide a better opportunity for children’s futures. You are asked to complete at least 4 hours a day of local work and 4 hours a day of international work, 6 days a week. The job can be strenuous, but is incredibly rewarding and you will leave IHF with new transferable skills, a better understanding of international NGOs and an unforgettable experience to last the rest of your life.
In Indonesia, we have four education centers in Bali, Jakarta, Medan and Banda Aceh. Our Jakarta center provides a home to a small number of children. All Indonesia centers hold English, Math and Computer classes for disadvantaged children aged 6-17 to supplement the limited Indonesian public education system. Your role would include teaching and supervising classes as well as organizing various activities at the center.
We have children’s homes in Thailand and Kenya. Our Thailand center is a home for seven older children from a nearby hill tribe. Teenagers from this marginalized community come to our center for a stable home and the chance for an education. Our Kenya center is a home for children of various ages from the impoverished region of East Pokot and provides emergency relief to the surrounding community. This is the biggest IHF center, with approximately 65 children. Living conditions in this region are harsh, and we provide basic needs such as a home, food, and access to education for children who would otherwise go without. We also run livestock donation projects and other initiatives to relieve the extreme poverty where we can. Your role in either of these centers would include fostering a familial environment for the children, overseeing their education and managing the various needs and activities in the center.
IHF is a grassroots, all-volunteer organization with no central office, so co-Directors complete 4 hours of international work daily that consists of various administrative tasks. All co-Directors manage one or more of our international task teams such as University Relations, Fundraising, Teacher Training and Media. You will work closely with co-Directors at other centers to manage these teams and will receive unique training in a multilevel, multifaceted system. You will be assigned your teams according to your experience and skills. This work can be challenging, but you will hone your time management skills and learn intimately how an NGO functions at both the ground and administrative levels. Before arrival at the center, you will already become a part of the team by completing pre-trip tasks with our international teams to gain an understanding of the kind of work you will be doing.
Candidate Qualifications: Fluency in both written and spoken English is essential. We value volunteers who are creative and innovative, willing to take responsibility and easily adapt to new conditions and unexpected situations. We welcome applicants with any background, but prefer degrees in social studies, language, teaching, medicine, law, and social work. Experience abroad traveling, working or volunteering will be an asset... Leer más ...

Me llamo Ana y también estoy interesada en realizar un voluntariado medioambiental, en este caso quiero realizarlo en Costa Rica y referente a las tortugas marinas, ya que además de ser un paraíso también hay playas para surfear y quiero seguir allí con mis clases.
Andaba muy perdida en cuanto a esto de voluntariados, ya que es la primera vez que busco algo así y aunque he viajado completamente sola por Tailandia y Bali mas de estilo hoteles y relax, ahora estoy muy motivada a realizar esta aventura y a decir verdad, me da un poco de miedito hacerlo sola :S Quizás por haber leido que ciertas zonas en Costa Rica son muy peligrosas...
Quería comentarte, dejando ese punto a un lado, que hoy me he puesto en contacto con una ONG en Costa Rica llamada ASVO y pinta fenomenal... Tienen muchos programas medioambientales realmente interesantes
Yo tengo que decidirlo ya, puesto que solo tengo dos semanas de vacaciones ahora, e iría del 22 de septiembre al 6 de octubre.
Me han mandado los formularios para inscribirme y me han comentado que en mi caso me aceptarían aunque esté menos tiempo del normal, que serían 30 días... (No es necesario tramitar ningún visado)
Mis opciones serían Gandoca-Manzanillo (Mar Caribe), Matapalo (Pacífico) o Montezuma (Pacífico).
Las fechas son bastante precipitadas, pero si quieres mirarlo y te apetece que nos pongamos en contacto, yo encantada de poder tener un posible compañero, ya que a decir verdad me lo estoy planteando mucho...
Los vuelos por estas fechas estan por unos 400-500 €, así que suena fenomenal...
Si alguien mas esta dispuesto a realizar algún voluntariado y conoce otras opciones en estas fechas, comunicadlo aquí porfi
Esto de los voluntariados a veces parece complicadísimo y estaría muy bien poder formar algún grupo...
En la actualidad estoy colaborando con un ONG en Bali llamada IHF, que es un centro educativo. Estan buscando voluntarios para dar clases de ingles e informatica y hacer trabajo administrativo en la organizacion. Hablar ingles es necesario e imperativo, ya que es el idioma que se utiliza para comunicarse dentro de la ONG.
Yo estoy en el centro de Bali, que esta situado en Buitan, a unos 10 minutos de Candidasa. Es una casa de vacaciones reconvertida en colegio/casa para voluntarios. Hay piscina y unos jardines bonitos. Sin embargo, aunque esta al lado de la playa, esta no esta muy bien y hay que banarse con ropa porque esta al lado de un poblado musulman.
Los ninos son encantadores y aunque su nivel de ingles no es muy alto, el idioma no es una barrera para poder comunicarse con ellos y dar las clases sin problema.
En cuanto a precios, son 75 dolares por semana en concepto de alojamiento y manutencion, pero si te quedas mas de un mes, el precio es degresivo. La comida es bastante repetitiva, porque casi siempre incluye arroz, pero esto es comun en toda Indonesia.
Tambien se necesitan voluntarios en los centros que tienen en Tailandia y Kenya.
Hola, soy realmente nueva en esto y no se como funciiona. Llegue hasta esta pagina investigando primero como viajar a Bali desde Mexico...
Me gustaria realizar un voluntariado en la India, Me interesa mucho conocer Calcuta y Bali... Les agradecer me ayuden un poco , necesito aprender como funciona esto... de hecho no estoy segura si alguien leera este mensaje... Saludos!

Gracias de antemano!

hace algún tiempo, antes de mi viaje, contacté con una persona española, una chica, que tenía en Bali una especie de ONG dedicada a ayudar a personas con discapacidad motora, y las ayudaban a valerse por si mismas, alimentaba, etc...
No recuerdo la localidad exacta, pero estaba cerca de Ubud, por el centro de la isla.
Estuvimos hablando por msn, pero no llegamos a conocernos en persona. Y he perdido su contacto, su página web, etc...no veo la manera de encontrarla...
Tengo a una persona interesada en ir a su lugar a ayudar. Si alguien recuerda el nombre de esta persona, o el de su ong, o el de su web, se lo agradecería.
saludos
Hola
traslado el mensaje al foro que le corresponde, al de ONG's.
Un saludo
Creo que es usuaria de este foro, me parece recordar que alquila su casa por temporadas y que además salió en un programa de la tele tipo 'españoles por el mundo', pero no recuerdo su nombre
De todas formas si miras en el subforo correspondiente seguro que das con ella

Bueno, yo estuve de voluntaria el año pasado en Camboya y la experiencia fue genial.
Mi recomendación es que busques algún sitio donde ir por tu cuenta sin tener que pagar a intermediarios porque ese dinero seguro que lo agradece más el centro al que vayas.
En el Sudeste asiático así como en África y Sudamérica hay mucha necesidad de ayuda, ya depende de tus preferencias y lo lejos/cerca que quieras irte.
Yo he estado 2 años viviendo en China y por allí y países de alrededor hay mucha penuria, así que si te interesa conozco un par de sitios en Camboya, uno en Bali para trabajar con minusvalidos y alguno en Nepal.
Hola, que tal todos/as;
Estoy buscando irme este año como voluntaria fuera(sola) ,he visto varios proyectos en indonesia en concreto en bali y me ha encantado,de hecho he visto asociaciones/empresas que te gestionaban el contacto con la ong pero tenias que ¿pagar previamente?sin saber si te ivas o no,he encontrado otra que estoy a la espera que me contesten ya he enviado la carta de motivacion creo que se llama y supuestamente te responden en 10 dias, pero recurro a vosotros porque me imagino que en verano es una fecha muy solicitada y mi gran impedimento es que no dispongo de mucho tiempo para irme (entre 15 y 21 dias),no se si me podiais proporcionar alguna asociacion donde sepais la existencia de proyectos o workcamps en esa zona,por si no me saliese,ah tampoco no se si ser trabajadora sanitaria(odontologia )puede interesar en alguna asociacion o no,y si un nivel de ingles alto es imprecindible(porque me defiendo mas menos).muchas gracias a tod@s
