Volunteer Travel Argentina

Homeless Adults Shelters
Trip code: ARG4

Come to Argentina and work to help homeless people who have nowhere to turn to. Rustic Volunteer and Travel has collaborated with a local NGO that is helping the homeless have a decent life. To meet its goals, the NGO has three temporary shelter homes. They are "Casa de Maria", which houses up to 20 adults females from 30 to 60 years old; "Casa Felix", which can house up to 30 adult men younger than 60 years old; and "Casa de la Esperanza" which accommodates up to 25 adult males older than 60. The nature of these households is transitory. The NGO helps these people to move forward and achieve integration and reinsertion into society by re-establishing links with their families or with new people and groups.

The homes are coordinated and supervised by an interdisciplinary team from different service areas such as Psychology, Nutrition, Physical therapy and workshops are carried out for recreation and education, which will address the problems and concerns of homeless, both individual and collective levels.

Arrival Point:

Ingeniero Ambrosio L.V. Taravella International Airport – Córdoba

Airport Pick-up:

Upon the receipt of your flight information, our in-country coordinator or other project staff will greet the volunteers in the airport and take you to your project site. The address and telephone number of the local contact hotel will be given before departure just in case volunteers miss our representative in the airport. Please make sure to e-mail your flight information to both the USA office and the local in-country coordinator's office.

Departure Point:

Ingeniero Ambrosio L.V. Taravella International Airport – Córdoba

Airport Drop:

Rarely, a few do request an escort back to the airport; this is an extra expense of about $75.  Most volunteers are very familiar and comfortable with their stay and have great ease taking their own taxi or bus back to the airport.

Internal Transportation:

Rustic Volunteer Travel manages one-way transportation to project. Volunteers will be responsible for their own personal and return travel. We do not cover daily transportation from the host family/hotel to the volunteer project. Our program is designed to save you, the volunteer, as much as possible.

Start Dates:

2nd and 4th Mondays of each month

Arrival Before Start Date:

Rustic Volunteers/Travelers coming to Argentina are advised to arrive one day before their program start date. If you arrive more than one day early or stay after the program, you will be responsible for your room and food expenses.

Working Hours: 30- 40 hours per week
