ZURICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Travel today is not just about fancy hotels or cheap all-inclusive deals, but also about creating lasting memories through interactions with local people and cultures. More and more young people and experienced professionals dream of traveling and getting to know a foreign country and culture while contributing something meaningful at the same time.
The Swiss-based Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) help2kids gives people from all over the world the exciting opportunity to participate in service projects in Tanzania and Malawi. The aim is to make a difference in the lives of orphans and vulnerable children at the various help2kids projects. More information at http://www.help2kids.org/orphanage/volunteering.html
In the past two years, more than 100 volunteers have completed the volunteer program at help2kids. "We get more and more people interested in volunteering - from students to senior managers who are socially committed," says help2kids President and Founder Frank Hakenjos. "At our projects, it’s all about cultural exchange, where people can broaden their horizons, gain new experiences and pass on their knowledge and skills to those less fortunate than themselves."
help2kids projects are currently located in Tanzania and in Malawi. Tanzania is well-known as a safari destination that offers the famous Mount Kilimanjaro, amazing national parks and wildlife, and the Indian Ocean. Malawi, Tanzania’s neighbor, also has its fair share of wildlife and the beautiful Lake Malawi, one of the largest lakes in Africa. Additionally, Malawi is commonly known as “the warm heart of Africa” based on the kindness and friendliness of its people.
help2kids is registered in Switzerland, Tanzania, and Malawi. The Board of Directors in Switzerland consists of seven members, and is supported by a competency team of experts from different areas who work on a voluntary basis. help2kids is audited by KPMG in Zurich, Switzerland and guarantees absolute transparency. The Africa Director is Karina Catlin (USA) who oversees all of the projects in Tanzania and in Malawi. Videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/help2kidsChannel
