Volunteer in Buenos Aires, Argentina with Expanish Volunteer programs

Why volunteer in Buenos Aires?

Since the economic crisis in 2001 and devaluation of the peso, Argentina has faced various degrees of financial challenges, in particular a rise in poverty and lack of funding in education, public services, and community aid. Organizations have stepped up to the challenge in the capital city, developing programs that focus on many of these areas striving to improve the overall quality of life in Argentina and create a better future for all of its residents.

Testimonials

		I loved playing and drawing with kids. I especially enjoyed working with Oscar because he made me feel really good for volunteering there and we did a lot of activities together. I just wish there were more resources for them to do more activities other tan arts and crafts. Hanna Rudsten – USA
		Was very rewarding preparing, cooking and serving the food to the children and their parents. They were very grateful and appreciative! Also enjoyed cultural activities and socializing with everyone at Expanish Michael – South Africa
		When I came out to Argentina to volunteer for 6 weeks I had no idea what to expect. It was my first time traveling alone and working with children but I soon realized that there was nothing to worry about. I immediately felt at home at the orphanage where I was working and quickly connected with the kids and the carers, despite being far from confident at speaking Spanish and no one on site understanding English! However, my Spanish improved by the day until I was feeling almost fluent and I was fully involved in every aspect of day to day routine. My coordinator at Expanish was really good at making sure I was fitting in at my placement, so I never felt as though I was alone and I had an emergency contact if it had been necessary. It was really hard to say goodbye at the end of the 6 weeks after forming such a connection with the carers, children and other volunteers but I can honestly say it was some of the best weeks of my life. I would recommend this experience to anyone without a moment’s hesitation and it’s all thanks to Expanish for making it possible! Sam Tosswill
		Trabajando en una organización que brinda servicios sociales para gente sin hogar en Buenos Aires, aprendí mucho sobre las problemas que ellos enfrenten día a día – problemas que resultan de una falta de recursos económicos y marginación por la sociedad. La venta de revistas publicados por la organización da a estos residentes un medio de ganar un ingreso y mejorar su nivel de vida. Además, reciben asistencia y asesoramiento para ayudarles a entrar en el mercado laboral y conocer sus derechos como ciudadanos. Conociendo a los beneficiarios y hablando con ellos, yo vi que aprecian mucho la ayuda del equipo tan dedicado de la organización, y que hace una gran diferencia en sus vidas. Mi voluntariado con ellos fue una experiencia de la ciudad mas allá de lo que se puede ver como turista, y me dio también la oportunidad de devolver algo a los residentes que me recibieron tan afectuosamente.
