Volunteer short term trips:
CHRIFACAF values short-term volunteers because we repeatedly see how their brief excursion makes a lasting impact on their lives as well the lives of the people they go to serve. CHRIFACAF welcome volunteers with various backgrounds, skills and ages to participate such as: Accountants, actors, agriculturalists, artists, auto mechanics, carpenters, computer scientists/programmers/teachers, construction workers, consultants, dentists, electricians, engineers, farmer, foresters, homemakers, nurses, nutritionists, painters, pharmacists, physicians, plumbers, students and teachers.

Volunteers can help in the following areas:
1.Teaching children and adults conversational English and other subjects such as the science, computer literacy and mathematics.
2.Caring for disable and abandoned children at orphanages and other facilities.
3.Providing health care services, education and counseling.
4.Assisting with community infrastructural development and construction such as building tables, chairs, desks, etc. for schools, erecting community centers and health clinics, constructing latrines, drilling wells, etc.


If you have a desire to serve and a passion to help others, you are a perfect fit for CHRIFACAF. We provide volunteers an opportunity to gain a genuine, first-hand understating of how local people in other culture and countries live out their day-to-day lives and, in the process, to present local people with a more authentic impression of people from developed countries really are. Our aim is to enable volunteers to experience life in a rural community. They learn from the local people with whom they work and they become familiar with the human and economic conditions of developing countries. As a result, each volunteer has an opportunity to dramatically alter his or her perspective of the world and how he or she relates to it. By working with and learning from each other, both local people and volunteers can initiate inter-cultural friendships and understanding.
