Description:
The NAVTI Foundation needs volunteers in all fields of work... We will be very happy to have you contribute to the development of the rural population of Cameroon. No matter your age or level of education (experience), someone in Africa needs your help. What job can I do while in Cameroon: This depends entirely on you. We can use teachers, farmers, managers, social workers, health educators, administrators, laborers, computer students etc. If we think that your field of interest is not applicable to what our organization does, we can link you with schools and organizations in your field. Within Cameroon there are people who need help and can benefit from your expertise in any area from teaching to nursing to administration. Let us know your interest or skills and we can discuss what is the best option for you. Meet experienced staff in the field that will give you the volunteer a 24 hrs in-country support every day all through the volunteer program. We are a non-profit making NGO and do not charge our volunteers any fees. All we require is for our volunteers to pay for their travel to Cameroon. WE are also organizing summer 2009 work camps for groups where food and accommodation will be provided for groups in our dormitories. Accommodation and feeding will be provided for FREE.
Highlights:
The NAVTI Foundation is a non-profit development organization with headquarters in Kumbo, Cameroon. It is named after Mrs. Shudzeka nee Bridget Navti. Bridget Navti was a model citizen in the community and after her death in 2000, her family, together with other members in her community, came up with the foundation to continue working in her honor. "Navti" in our native language Lamnso means "to repair".
