A beautiful poem by Kylan Denney on her experience volunteering with us here in Buenos Aires both in Spanish (first) and English (below).

By Kylan Denney

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.

From our experience, it is transformative both for the host community and for the volunteer who joins, immerses themselves in the work, and engages in daily exchanges. For this process to be genuine and transformative, time is needed, but it is also necessary to include the volunteer in all the activities carried out by the organisation. Whether it is to help with specific tasks or simply to listen and "translate," understanding the uniqueness of the local culture.

Unlocking potential through pedagogical navigation: embracing challenges and opportunities in international volunteering.

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.

As we always say, volunteering is a learning process. And a learning process is never isolated. Volunteering is also a collective experience signed by the relation we'll create with the communities we'll work with.

Abi, our coordinator, reflects about the result of the last elections held in Argentina.
