Voluntary service projects
This year International Voluntary Service will again organise a number of International volunteer projects including a number in Russia and Eastern Europe.
The camps are open to everybody and no special skills are required.
If you are interested in working as part of an international group for 2-3 weeks you can visit the IVS web site www.ivs-gb.org.uk to get more information.
There you will also find a searchable database to get details of the projects and availability of places. .
If you have any general questions about the projects please feel free to give me a ring.
