Vereinigung Junger Freiwilliger

UVDA is a non political, non sectarian, indigenously inspired and oriented voluntary organization geared to work for both local and international PEACE and for the welfare of its members and community through work camps and other social services as volunteers.

Our services are based on the Africa tradition of sharing and humanism, where interests of others always come first before those of self.

Through this kind of serving philosophy, participants are helped to grow practically in awareness of the existence of others and to become accustomed to seeing those around them caring personally for others or  seeing them being cared for in person.

The service is rendered while working along side local members of the community from where the nature of work projects and their usefulness to the community will give the impression that the society sincerely needs you and your contribution and that you are a complete member of that community.

Besides, it enables you win friends, while working and living with fellow participants from various ethical and racial cultural back grounds and from a number of countries in the world.

WHAT IS EXPECTED FROM YOU

Full and honest participation in activities and frankness in discussions. Willingness to take responsibility and help in the organization administration of the project. Expected also in mature behaviors all round, ie during work and out in the local community village.

The Association’s present experience in inter-human relations teach the lesson that it is possible for people from differing ethical, racial and educational back grounds to live and work together as members of one family using one communicable language and eating locally prepared food and sharing common accommodation. Some of the deep impressions the programme has left on some participants have included amongst others thinking wider and beyond the confines of one’s area country and people.

UVDA is in urgent need of MID and LONG term volunteers in the following fields:
