Let’s look at some facts. On one hand, there is an increasing gap between the world’s rich and poor. We in Australia need only to look at our own doorstep to realise this. On the other hand, there are so many young, fit and energetic Australians who have aspirations of greatness to be fulfilled. Isn’t it ideal to combine a young man’s sense of adventure with one of the world’s most effective aid projects?
This is precisely what the workcamps aim to achieve. Since 1987, hundreds of young men have given their time, money and energies to help those who are less privileged. In return, they have seen the world, traveled overseas and made lifelong friendships among those they worked with and for. It is an unforgettable experience they will cherish forever. This is really the heart of our philosophy. Ultimately, those that give themselves to such generous ideals with be the ones that benefit the most.
The next opportunity to participate in a project is November of 2010.
