Volunteer Travel Argentina

Children with Disabilities
Trip code: ARG3

With a large number of Argentineans living in poverty, it is often an arduous task to be able to adequately provide for even a healthy child. Much like the limited healthcare system existing within many developing nations, individuals requiring special needs are often left by the wayside.

Rustic Volunteer Travel collaborates with a locally-operated service provider for disabled individuals to get volunteers to help supply various levels of support. Working with disabled children can prove to be very emotionally challenging for volunteers though extremely rewarding. While observing the ways disabilities have affected young lives can be heartrending, the work is immensely uplifting at the same time. It is truly amazing to watch a child respond to your love, care, and attention.
