Bonjour,
Nous sommes 3 filles a la recherche d'organismes humanitaires, car nous aimerions partir l'été prochain (mai juin 2007) au Costa Rica pour y apporter un peu de notre aide.... si vous pouvez nous donner de l'information à ce sujet que ce soit des contacts, adresses internet, numeros de tel, etc... merci a l'avance!!!

coucou.
j'ai decouvert l'association Hogar Crea, qui aide les jeunes drogues et les enfants de la rue (Costa rica, Nicaragua et Panama). Le costa rica le pays le plus riche (et le plus cher) d'amerique central avec le Pamana, mais au Costa Rica, la repartition des richesses est mieux faite. il y a beaucoup d'argent pour le social et les hopitaux, le taux d'alphabetisation est eleve. le tourisme y est tres developpe et apporte autant de bien que de mal (naissance des gigolos sur la cote caraibe a Puerto viejo, sida en expention...). A mon avis le Nicaragua, apres ses 10 ans de guerre et de contre revolution sandiniste, est dans un etat pitoyable economiquement et socialement: gosses a la rue partout en pleine nuit a Managua et Masaya. tres peu d'initiative individuelle, une apathie terrible, mais pas dangeureux. Il a qq lieux de regroupement de touristes volontaires, comme a Granada (aide au communautes indiennes notamment). C est un pays tres peu cher qui n a rien prevu pour les touristes mais qui a grandement besoin de devises et d'une motivation interne au pays (plutot que de partir bosser illegalement au Costa Rica ou au Etats Unis).
voila, bon courage

Avant de partir faire de l’humanitaire je pense qu’il est important de se poser un certain nombre de questions.
Avec un ami nous sommes actuellement au Rwanda ou nous travaillons dans un centre avec des enfants qui vivaient dans la rue à Kigali. (http://tuzareba.over-blog.com) Avant de partir nous avons essayé de poser par écrit les réflexions qui pourraient nous aider à ouvrir grand les yeux et éviter de faire du « mal en voulant faire du bien ». Loin de représenter un guide miracle il s’agit de réfléchir aux bonnes questions à se poser avant de partir et à partager nos expériences respectives.
Cela dans le but de nous aider à imaginer la manière dont nous pourrions travailler sur des projets qui soient vraiment utiles pour les gens et ou chacun se sent respecté.
Bonjour à vous!
Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous répondre. Nous recherchons des informations précises et c'est toujours apprécié de recevoir des réponses précises! C'est gentil de votre part!
À bientôt

Bonjour à vous,
Merci énormément d'avoir répondu à notre message. C'est évidemment très apprécié. Nous sommes trois filles et en plus nous sommes jeunes alors on ne veut pas s'embarquer dans n'importe quoi même si c'est dans le but d'aider. C'est gentil de se soucier de notre préparation et de ne pas seulement nous donner des informations ordinaires. Merci beaucoup!
Au plaisir de se reparler!

My name is Valerie and I live in France. I’m a street artist—I perform street shows that blend circus and clowning. I also work as a clown in hospitals and retirement homes in France.
I’m planning to spend two months in Morocco from January 19, 2027, to March 13, 2027. I’ll be traveling in a truck, so I’ll be mobile.
I’d love to offer my time as a volunteer to perform a show that’s suitable for all audiences (kids and adults) in village squares. I’d also like to visit hospitals and orphanages as a clown.
My route will start in Nador, then head down to Merzouga, before making my way to the coast either above or below Agadir. Toward the end of my trip, I’ll return to Zagora and Merzouga before leaving from either Nador or Tangier.
I already have contacts in Merzouga and Zagora. Next, I’d like to head toward the coast above or below Agadir, and I’m looking for contacts (associations, orphanages, hospitals) in that area or along my route.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

My question might seem a bit out of place in a "travel" forum, but I’m giving it a shot anyway.
I’m thinking about sponsoring a child in Vietnam.
After some online research, I’ve found a lot of organizations that offer this, but I’m struggling to make a choice.
Could anyone guide me in making my decision?
Thanks in advance and have a great day.

I’m a volunteer leader at a youth center (MJC), and we’ve been deeply moved by everything happening in Madagascar—extreme poverty, endangered animals, deforestation, and so on. Plus, one of our teens has a Malagasy friend, so our group wants to travel there next year.
Throughout this year, they’ve planned fundraisers to collect donations (sheets, dish towels, schoolbooks, hygiene products, etc.) and funds to cover their trip and stay.
They’re really motivated and generous—they already volunteer in schools and senior centers, and they’re always welcomed warmly.
But so far, they haven’t found any organizations in Madagascar willing to host them for two weeks (orphanages, schools, animal protection parks, etc.).
Does anyone know of any contacts, please?
Looking forward to your replies. Have a great evening!
After 8 months of volunteering in Tanzania at a center for street children, I’d like to go back for a year in the same kind of role—this time in Burkina. So I’m looking for contacts in this field, in Ouaga or elsewhere. I’m *super* motivated! It’s been over two years since I got back from Tanzania, and I’m starting to feel restless!
Thanks so much!!
Emmanuelle.
Solidafrica is a recognized humanitarian association of general interest. We donate wheelchairs in Africa. We currently have 2 wheelchairs that we would like to give to our partner, the Benin Handisport Federation. If you're traveling to Benin, alone or with someone, we could give you one of these 2 wheelchairs (or both). Out of the 40 kg of luggage you're allowed, a wheelchair will only take up less than half. Our partner can pick it up at Cotonou Airport...
Help us give away at least one of these wheelchairs, turning your trip into a solidarity and humanitarian action.
Don't hesitate to ask us for more information.

We've already done this through the VoyageForum site, and everything went very smoothly. We're present at departure from one of the Paris airports, just in case.
Hi,
I’m interested in humanitarian missions—want to explore and help others while showing my kids how things work elsewhere and pitching in.
Looking for advice.
Hello, we’d like to travel as a family to Madagascar (2 parents, 2 kids aged 10 and 12). A first trip over 15 years ago completely amazed and moved me with its beauty, kindness, and life experiences—but also its poverty and hardship. That’s why I think it’s possible to introduce our kids to this island while also doing something useful through volunteering. The window is short—15 days in March 2020—which means avoiding the north and east of the island due to cyclones and focusing on the south instead. Some ecovolunteering projects exist online, but the cost is sometimes prohibitive, and kids are rarely accepted. Do you have any ideas or contacts? Thanks in advance!
