Volunteer in Colombia

Volunteer Colombia, Cartagena

Volunteer Colombia, Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cartagena is a charming walled city with massive fortifications, sea views, colonial architecture, cultural festivals and superb beach areas nearby. Due to its strategic location, Cartagena is a regular port of call for cruise liner, receiving up to 100 cruises during high season.

Despite the tourist trade and influx of travelers, there is real poverty in this city. Outside the Old Town are neighborhoods with extreme poverty. Children living in shambles, not attending school, vying for food by working on the streets trying to sell goods to the tourists. Poverty can lead not only to malnutrition, illness, delinquency, alcoholism and domestic violence, it also worsens environmental contamination. Volunteer in Colombia and support welfare programs in and around Cartagena in children's centers which provide education, food and care to the most vulnerable children.
