Exposure/ Voluntary work abroad for Under 18s
« on: March 08, 2012, 09:58:28 AM »
Hello...

Does anybody know of any organisations which will take Catholic teens oversees for exposure trips and/ or a spot of voluntary work? I know that CAFOD/ ACN/ LWDP do so with young adults, but I don't know of anyone doing this for teens.

Any ideas...?

Thanks  ;D

groups or individuals?

Palestine Pilgrimage has taken several school groups to the Palestine/Israel with a particular remit to experience occupation and meet young people living with the realities of life under occupation (particularly for the Palestinian Christian community).

The person who asked me this was thinking of individuals I think, but inevitably it may have to be about organised groups i.e. with their own leaders.

There is a great charity based in Croydon called International Needs. They run trips through their Go Global project - I'm not sure if they take under 18's on their own, but they offered to organise a trip especially for our school if we could get the people and the funding together.
