Aldeas de Paz (ADP) is a sustainable grassroots NGO
based in Santa Elena de Uairen,
Venezuela, near to the borders with
Brazil and Guyana in South America. ADP is independent from
political, religious or business interests and maintains
independence by completely funding and operating its programs with
the practical and monetary contributions of volunteers. ADP practices
an "Open Book Policy" and offers financial
transparency to beneficiaries and supporters alike. Our Mission
We support disadvantaged and at risk children and young people of Venezuelan,
Brazilian and Guyanan origin. We promote sustainable development, social justice and the "Culture of Peace" through enriching
cross-cultural exchange and voluntary community service. We provide
additional and alternative opportunities in educational,
recreational and environmental fields and assist our
beneficiaries to develop their potential and improve their own
lives. Our Vision
We share the values of Peace, Justice and Tolerance,
fundamentally focusing on the preservation of indigenous
cultures and the empowerment of young people. We value local
knowledge and work with cultural sensitivity. Because local
people know and understand what is appropriate for their own
communities, we assist them in carrying out the objectives they
deem important. Our Volunteer opportunities are truly the
microcosm of a world where people join together giving priority
to improving life for humanity and promoting a Culture of Peace
as a practical way to both prevent and resolve conflict. Our Volunteers Aldeas de Paz is operated by long and short-term volunteers
from both Venezuela and overseas. Our Volunteers are of all ages,
races and nationalities. Volunteering with us is a great opportunity
to work side by side with locals, learn new skills, study Spanish
and immerse oneself in the Latin and indigenous culture. We
generally host between 8 and 14 volunteers at any given time
throughout the year. We enjoy a great community atmosphere at our
cooperative living residents in a spectacular natural setting. Meet our
long-term committed volunteers: |
