在El有意义的志愿者机会Salvador- Land of Volcanoes

Interested in volunteering overseas in El Salvador? Each year, HELP International sends volunteers to El Salvador where they plan and implement service and development projects.

El Salvador is geographically the smallest country in Central America (about the size of New Jersey) and the most densely populated. Its countryside sports breathtaking volcanoes and mountains offering a wide range of outdoor adventures and scenic activities. El Salvador also offers unique colonial towns, national parks, Mayan sties, and world renowned surfing beaches.

Salvadorans are known for their great hospitality and are among the nicest people in the world. El Salvador’s friendly people that are always eager to help anyone has earned them the nickname of “the country with a smile.” The typical Salvadoran diet includes lots of rice and beans, seafood, and the most common Salvadoran dish, the famous Pupusa, a tortilla filled with cheeses, beans, pork, or a combination of the three.

HELP International participants must be between 18-34 years unless otherwise approved. Many volunteers receive internship credit for their experience abroad.

Some projects our HELP teams in El Salvador have accomplished recently include:

Visual acuity screenings in impoverished schools
Home construction for tidal wave victims
Reforestation campaigns
Assist in building of community centers
Outreach programs with at-risk youth
Mural and classroom painting of underserved schools
Recreational activities for girls' orphanage and emergency house
