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.
All volunteer programs start on the second and fourth Monday of each month and are from 2 to 12 weeks.
