Je vous en prie, si par la suite je peux apporter mon aide ce serait avec plaisir. Félicitations pour votre site, il est très interessant et de telles actions en faveur du développement en Asie méritent d'être remarquées !
Je viens de voir ton message de février 2009 sur ce forum. Je cherche un volontariat au Cambodge et aurais voulu savoir comment s'était passée ton expérience avec Nouvelles Pousses. Comment s'est passé ton voyage? As-tu voyagé dans d'autres pays d'Asie du SE? Merci d'avance pour ton aide.
En ce qui me concerne, cette expérience a été des plus enrichissantes et m'a donné envie de poursuivre mes études dans la filière humanitaire; c'est pourquoi cette année j'entame un Master LEA mention Analyse de Crise Humanitaire.
J'aimerais vraiment retourner en mission au Cambodge à l'avenir, et aussi visiter les pays limitrophes, ce que je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de faire pendant mon séjour.
Avec Nouvelles Pousses, qui aide l'enfance en difficulté, j'étais chargée avec une autre membre de l'équipe de conseiller les institutrices de maternelles, de trouver des manières originales d'enseigner aux enfants... J'ai essayé d'apporter ma pierre à l'édifice en adaptant certaines choses du système français aux écoles maternelles du Cambodge.
En ce qui concerne la santé, nous avons accompagné les malades dans les hopitaux, rencontré les docteurs en vue d'opérations ou d'examens, et aussi assisté le docteur (bénévole) lors des visites médicales en campagne, autour de Phnom Penh.
A mes heures perdues, je donnais des cours d'anglais (collège et fac) à la demande des professeurs. J'aidais aussi une communauté religieuse responsable d'un orphelinat à Phnom Penh. Cela a été magnifique, mais parfois douloureux aussi...
Aujourd'hui, NP continue son action tant au Cambodge qu'en France, mais ne prend malheureusement pas de stagiaires, du fait de sa petite taille et du manque de fonds (j'ai dû financer tous mes frais moi-même -voyage, loyer, transport..). Cependant il existe de nombreuses ONG au Cambodge, qui pourraient t'accueillir en tant que bénévole.
Si tu veux plus d'infos, n'hésite pas. On peut aussi en parler par mail si tu veux.
I’m a retired teacher looking for a 6-month mission (December 2026 to May 2027) in Francophone Africa. Being housed in the center would be a plus for me. I have experience in Haiti and especially in Cameroon. I’m financially independent.
Thank you.
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!
