Aldeas De Paz is a place where you can grow and find yourself as an individual, all while helping others.

During my six week stay at Aldeas de Paz, I was able to enjoy the perfect balance between work and relaxation. During the week I worked in the NGO Management program as well as helped with the school children. Weekends were spent exploring the beautiful country that is Venezuela.

As part of my internship I spent a number of days with the indigenous community at Chirikayen. As an anthropology student, I found my time there fascinating. I am so happy that Aldeas de Paz offers this program.

Through these experiences, I have a renewed focus on what my goals are i.e. starting my own NGO, and how I can better achieve them.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and felt right at home from day one. I really feel that the staff and fellow volunteers do their best to make your time with them pleasurable and a valuable experience that lasts a lifetime.
