Detailed description

We are looking for volunteers with experience in healthcare. You are open to gaining a special experience, and you find it interesting to share knowledge with healthcare personnel in a developing country. If you have nursing experience, you can work in various hospitals. As a dental assistant you go to schools with a local dentist in a dentist car to check the teeth of the children. If you are familiar with medication, you can help in a village pharmacy. If you have experience in care for the disabled, you can work with children with a disability.

* You have experience regarding the vacancy or you are following a training for this.

* There is an application procedure.

* You pay the costs yourself which entail voluntary work in The Gambia, such as preparation and supervision costs, ticket, accommodation costs and meals.


We offer

* Interesting projects from which you will learn a lot.

* Good preparation in the Netherlands and guidance in The Gambia.

* Pick-up from the airport.

* Introduction day in The Gambia.

* A guest address which serves as a home base where the volunteer can ask questions and relax himself.

* Various options for trips and / or workshops.


This volunteer vacancy cannot (yet) be filled as long as the corona measures in the Netherlands and / or the Gambia apply. If interested, it is possible to make an appointment without obligation.
