Phil Hanks, whom I met at the Fairtrade event at the Civic Centre a couple of weeks ago, has emailed me about the Global XChange programme he supervises.
Eighteen young people aged 18-25, half from the UK and half from Indonesia, will spend three months in and around Harlow and Bishop's Stortford from March. Volunteers will live and volunteer in cross-cultural counterpart pairs, contributing to community projects and developing greater understanding of the world around them.
Phil is looking for community hosts who can take in a pair of volunteers (one UK and one Indonesian) for up to ten weeks between the end of March and the middle of June. Global Xchange will provide a weekly allowance to contribute towards costs, volunteers who are flexible and fit in with your lifestyle, and support from two programme supervisors.
He's also looking for placements for the volunteers in local community organisations. Again, the volunteers will work in pairs (one UK and one Indonesian) for up to four days a week between April and the middle of June.
If you're interested, do email Phil or call him on 07968 099775.
