Voluntary placement

People who will volunteer under the organization of N. C. A. G. will work in different sectors and that depends on the sector which each individual chooses.

The volunteers have the opportunity to live, learn and work with the group of different people and
backgrounds on projects in remote locations and participate in the day- to- day activities.

This provides the opportunity for the volunteer to learn about and understand other cultures,
traditions; an opportunity that normally doesn't exist for most outside the voluntary environment.

Volunteers can teach in nursery, primary or secondary schools, assist in Clinics or Maternity homes, are part of the community and rural development projects and work with women in deprived rural areas to improve the quality of sheabutter.
