Being a volunteer enables you to face new challenges, develop creativity and expertise, meet new people as part of a team doing meaningful work, make a difference and grow personally, by learning new skills, gaining new experiences, and achieving a sense of accomplishment.
AVIF advocates sustainable development NOT handouts.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT is key
For example, read our blog on Solar Aid and their incredible work.
