International Opportunities for Agriculture & Animal Husbandry

Have you always wanted to use your Agricultural or Animal Science skills in other countries? You are needed:

GHANA: Teach at Agricultural College

• Ghana is one of the drumming-est, most friendly countries in Africa!
• No teaching or university experience necessary.
• What is needed are farmers with a strong background in organic farming, permaculture and/or sustainable agriculture.
• Mentor in the field and "download" your skills.
• Your knowledge so important to farmers in Ghana they will put you on the radio!

ECUADOR: Rural development

• Come work with the indigenous women in the beautiful Andes.
• They would like to both learn more sustainable farming methods and animal husbandry.
• Spanish is essential; Quechua helpful.

CAMEROON: Rural development

• Farmers in the remote rural villages have just enough food to subsist.
• They would like to learn better methods so that they have enough food for a cash crop.
• Come teach them mulching, rain water harvesting and how they can enrich their soil.
• Teach & mentor them in how to raise goats, chicken and/or rabbits so they will have more protein.

MOROCCO: Agriculture

• Like other remote parts of the world, it is difficult to eke out a living.
• This organization has done a phenomenal job of raising fruit trees and almonds & walnuts.
• They employ local women tending 1.4 million seedlings at 14 nurseries.
• They welcome people with an agricultural background to improve on what they are doing.

PERU: Agriculture & Animal Husbandry

• Likewise, it is difficult to eke out a living at 10,000 feet in the mountains of Peru.
• It is difficult to raise food. People eat guinea pig.
• This organization's brilliant solution? They have built green houses so they can raise more vegetables.
• They welcome people with an Agricultural & Animal Husbandry background to help increase food & nutrition to people.

Interested? To apply, please read the NGOabroad website http://www.ngoabroad.com/ and send an answered Questionnaire and resume to: info@NGOabroad.com. These are volunteer opportunities. Both experienced farmers & students needed. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Usually you choose when you go & how long you can stay. It is smart to finish application process by March so you have time to prepare to go to another country. Volunteer programs do not just run in June, July & August - that is simply when the most people can go. Except primary & secondary schools that have school schedules to adhere to, most programs run year round.
