Bolivia Volunteers

by Tess Campbell
(Australia, Tasmaina)

hey there, I have trying find a volunteer program in Bolivia and stumbled across Bolivia Volunteers (http://www.freewebs.com/boliviavolunteers/). What they offer sounds great and i am keen to go ahead with this program. The site though does not include written experiences from past volunteers and was wondering if you have any information on this organisation. It would be greatly appreciated if this could be passed on as i dearly want to get involved .

Hi there,

I am similarly like Tess looking at the various possibilities. Have been looking at Bolivia Volunteers (mentioned above) and Volunteer Bolivia (listed on your website).

Whilst it seems Volunteer Bolivia has been heard of as a reputable organisation it is considerably more expensive!

$2450 for 3 months with Volunteer bolivia but only $1000 for Bolivia Volunteers.

What they offer on their website is remarkably similar so where is the price difference i wonder?

Thanks

Hi Tess
I haven't actually personally met anyone who has volunteered with this program. However, I did take a look at their site. In reading through their ABOUT page, it strikes me that they offer volunteering positions in Cochabamba, but their website says they are located in La Paz. Their email is on their ABOUT page. Perhaps before deciding you could ask them to send you the contact information of some of their previous volunteers so you can get in touch with them and ask them about their experiences.

If you really want to volunteer in Cochabamba specifically, there are two other very good programs listed on my volunteer program listing called Sustainable Bolivia and Volunteer Bolivia, along with several others. Both are actually located in Cochabamba, both are non-profit, and both offer testimonials from previous volunteers on their websites.
