A typical day for a volunteer
  • This is not easy to describe as there are no typical days. Also in that we believe initiative to be one of the primary qualities in a volunteer.
  • When not hiking however, tasks include: promotion!!!, teaching English to the guides, exploring new routes, translation, equipment maintenance, trip preparation, activities with the children from the projects we support and whatever new ideas you wish to introduce.
