The Aldeas de Paz foundation

Aldeas de Paz is operated by long and short-term volunteers from both Venezuela and overseas. Our Volunteers are of all ages, races and nationalities and don't have to speak fluent Spanish as we provide full support and 24 hour back-up from our local staff. Every week we provide up to 10 free Spanish language lessons . Volunteering with us is a great opportunity to work side by side with locals, learn new skills, study Spanish and immerse oneself in the Latin and indigenous culture. We host between 5 and 15 volunteers at any given time throughout the year. We enjoy a great community atmosphere at our cooperative living Volunteer Guesthouse in a spectacular natural setting. This feeling of working together, inventing projects together, having influence in future decisions, all in all a very horizontal structure......I took a lot of opportunities which I wouldn't have taken at home.
