Skills and qualifications required The organization requires as many different types of skills as possible.

What we require may not be limited to this as the needs are project tailored.

The volunteers will be allocated specific duties dependent upon their individual experience, skills, interests and openings in the organization, however, all volunteers should be willing to help out in any aspect of the organization’s work when required and change topics if necessary. Volunteers should also be able to undertake strenuous and sometimes tedious work in a hot tropical climate under primitive living conditions.
