Volunteers required for various assignments in developing countries
Have you ever thought about using your skills to help create a better future for people left vulnerable by HIV/AIDS in South Africa or orphaned street children in Haiti? What about becoming a full-time volunteer here in Ireland?
Since 1960, Viatores Christi (Catholic lay missionary development workers), has aimed to respond to needs such as these by giving people an opportunity to share their lives and skills with those in need all over Africa, South America, Asia, parts of Europe and here in Ireland.
People from all backgrounds and professions join Viatores Christi – people who want to challenge themselves to make a difference in the world, however big or small.
