Volunteering on a Medical Project in a developing country is an invaluable preparation for a career in Medicine, Physiotherapy, Nursing, Midwifery, Dentistry, Occupational Therapy or Speech Therapy. We have placements to suit people of all levels of qualification and experience.

" The Medical programme was extremely beneficial and really gave me an insight into the Argentinian medical system. It has definitely reconfirmed my wish to become a doctor. I saw several operations that I wouldn't have seen until my fourth or fifth year at medical school, had I not taken a gap year."

" Having undergraduate medical students working alongside me is a real help. I run the woman's clinic alone, and am often rushed off my feet - to have someone that I know can administer injections, take blood pressure, process urine samples and assist with births makes an enormous difference to both myself and the patients."

The Veterinary Medicine is very much a practical placement for people who love animals! Whether you are a pre-university student considering a career in veterinary medicine, an undergraduate, graduate, or simply a passionate animal lover, you can get involved in our Veterinary Medicine.

" On a day-to-day basis, we would feed and give water to all of the dogs and cats in the garden; clean cages and plates, the socialising areas and the kitchen; observe any groups; help with all of the dogs in the rescue centre;give water, etc. Amazing Experience!! "

" Living and volunteering for one month in Argentina changed my life. I met so many amazing people that I know I will be friends with for a life time. We still talk and dream of the day when we can all meet up again, hopefully in Argentina. I’ll never forget the chilly mornings and alpaca sweaters or the warm campfire and the beautiful sunset. I can’t wait for the day I get to come back and say hi to my host mom, vets, and friends I left there and of course hi to the best country I’ve ever been to and my second home."

"My whole experience in Argentina was rewarding; it has changed me as a person. I am much more confident and a lot less fussy with my eating habits. It was the best thing I have ever done, and I will hopefully be returning there next year."

" Every aspect about my time in Cordoba was fantastic, but particularly the family I stayed with. I was made to feel completely as one of the family, and was always invited to parties, birthday celebrations and barbeques with family and neighbours. They, along with the Volunteering in Argentina staff, ensured that my time in Cordoba was above all safe and enjoyable."

Sometimes a volunteer would sit with the child on the horse with or without a saddle, depending on the child’s age and level of disability or riding skills. The diagnoses of the children would vary from cerebral palsy, autism, ADHD, developmental delays, to traumatic brain injury. This was very interesting from an occupational therapist’s stand point. The Equine Therapy applies the Tango Method. The tridimensional pattern of movement of the horse translates and facilitates the tridimensional pattern of movement of the rider. It is a very good way to facilitate muscular strength, coordination, normal movement patterns, visual perceptual skills, and confidence.

" The Equine Therapy centre is run very well. We would see 3 to 5 patients between 4pm and 7pm. The patients’ ages varied from pre-schoolers to adults. Their parents or caregivers would usually accompany them. Sometimes one of them would bring musical instruments and we conducted therapy to the rhythm of music. The kids loved it. We loved it. The atmosphere at the centre was always upbeat, happy, and everybody gave their all to facilitate the best therapy session for the child. Veronica gave us instructions and demonstrated how to facilitate the child’s movements on the horse. "

Volunteers work alongside local teachers in any of the destinations where we work. You do not need to have previous experience, just energy, enthusiasm, and patience. You can teach English to students or adults, and if you have the necessary skills you could also volunteer to teach French, IT, music, or sports.

“Life for school children in Argentina is at times very boring so letting them have some fun always led to a sea of smiling faces. At the end of our placement we were presented with homemade Mate and a beautiful certificate, and it was amazing to realize how much we were appreciated by the school for the work we did.”

volunteer programs are popular with those who have a background in playing or coaching soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, water sports and more. Sports bring people together and help build strong communities, as well as contribute to the creation of healthy, happy individuals.

" In terms of the project I could not have asked for a better placement. It was a real privilege to work with such talented players and help with the development of their game. Not only was I able to implement some of the coaching methods used in Europe but I also learned how Argentinians train.
From speaking to the other volunteers, I think it’s definitely true that you get back what you put into your project. Even though volunteers are on placements for a relatively short period of time a lot can be achieved by asking what's been done previously, gaining an understanding of what your placement expects and providing another perspective in terms of ideas.

Volunteers work in orphanages, care centers, kindergartens, and special needs clinics around the world. You will help children get ready in the morning, play games, assist with homework and mealtimes, etc. These are very well-rounded volunteer placements that allow you to bring your own interests and passions in to share with the children.
