About this position
Overview: voluntary work in a community soup kitchen in La Boca, Argentina
The community center is the head office of some business ventures - a bakery and a textile center. It also gives training to adults and after-school support and English classes for children. The daily feeding of the people and children that go to work or study there is a basic need. The collaborators of the kitchen prepare and serve breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack for everyone. The people who work in the different areas of the community centre have lunch in the centre every day and so volunteers have the opportunity to mix with the locals and practice speaking Spanish not only with the people who work in the kitchen but with everyone who comes to eat. You learn whilst cooking and in a relaxed and fun way. The most important thing is to show an interest in helping and learning.What to expect
Description: voluntary work in a community soup kitchen in La Boca, Argentina
Although lots of people work in the kitchen, there is never enough help and the volunteer’s collaboration is crucial. Your “hands” are always welcome in the kitchen, helping to prepare lunch and learning the secrets of traditional Argentinean food. Also, one of your daily tasks will be helping to serve the food and drink and collect the plates. Availability: As volunteer in the kitchen you will have to work from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 2 pm, for about three or four days per week. Please note, that the program is not available during December and January. Local coordination: Natalia is the general coordinator of the kitchen and food bank. She will introduce you to all the chefs and collaborators, who assign the tasks. Furthermore, she will explain how the kitchen works, so you are able to integrate and start helping immediately. The cooks are always so enthusiastic to have a volunteer to help them and to have someone to teach how to cook and some Spanish words.Itinerary of your stay abroad
Volunteer abroad program
Start date of project
The volunteer projects run throughout the year. Therefore, we are open for your individual suggestion, which we are going to propose to our partner organisation.
Time of arrival
We recommend to arrange an arrival a few days prios to the start of the volunteer project. You can move in to your guest family up to 3 days before the official project start at no additional costs. You then have enough time to recover from the long flight, get to know your host family and make your first trips.
Arrival at the Airport
Arriving in a new country is always exciting. We want your arrival to be as relaxed as possible. One of the staff members of our partner organization will pick you up at the airport and bring you to your host family or your shared flat. He/she will be waiting for you at the airport with a sign with your name on it. If you cannot find a flight at the desired date, don’t worry. You can choose another one a few days earlier or later.
Orientation program
Within the first days of your arrival one of the team members of our partner organisation will pick you up and show you around. You will get to know the country and its people and you will be informed about Do’s and Dont’s. The program will be held with more volunteers at the same time. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know like-minded globetrotters. Your local contact person will provide you with further useful hints for a good starting point into a new lifestyle.
The project starts
On the first day of your project, you are usually accompanied by a member of our local partner who will answer all of your questions. The further project days your local contact person will always be available for you via phone if you have any concerns or issues to share with somebody.
Free time & weekend
The weekend is totally yours! You may ask your local contact person from our partner organisation about upcoming events, sights, shopping tips or other must see’s. On some days there will be field trips organized by our partner organization. We recommend you to join them as it is always fun to experience a new country with others.
Departure
You shall contact your local contact person a few days prior to your departure to inform about options for your airport drop-off. It will not be included in the services of the volunteer projects, but our expert will help you organize it.
