Voluntary Work Mexico – Our Partner ProWorld
ProWorld is a member of Intrax's worldwide network. For ten years ProWorld has been running aid projects all around the world, and worked together with local aid organisations. ProWorld employees are well integrated into the local communities. Projects are devised and carried out with the local people. The initiative for each project is taken by local people, who rely on your help as a volunteer. Project funding, which comes from your programme fees, enables the financing of each project. Without volunteers, these projects would simply not be possible.
The local project coordinators are also contact people for our international volunteers; find host families or guest houses; put groups together; and organise useful assignments, depending on the programme length and individuals' qualifications.
