Volunteer in Iceland while capturing the radiant beauty of the country! Be involved in Journalism and Photography!
The program will involve volunteers in creating and publishing a magazine promoting voluntarism, from interview topics, photo and video collaborations, editing, layout design and publishing. Volunteers will be exposed in all stages of magazine production and will be able to meet and visit different volunteer projects in Iceland.
A part of this project will concentrate on intercultural learning and exchange. Every evening, a different country will cook for the rest of the group and will be in charge of presenting their culture and country of origin in a non formal way.
This project is a way to enjoy an amazing time in Iceland with other international volunteers and to have an incredible experience where participants share their knowledge with each other while they are exploring creativity, environmental issues and intercultural learning.

Sólheimar, Iceland‘s first and only eco-village, is located in southwest Iceland, 80 kilometres (50 miles) east of Reykjavík. The heart of the Sólheimar ideology is to give all individuals a fair chance and to maximize their potential. By focusing on individuals' abilities instead of their limitations, Sólheimar aims to create the space for each resident to take every opportunity that arises for each person to grow and develop. Versatility is the strength of Sólheimar so people with special needs that reside here will always be the center of the community. This works through the idea of reverse integration: those without special needs adapt to the abilities of those who do, they can work together to make their community an equal and sustainable one. The foundation of the ideology of Sólheimar derives from the visions and lifework of Sesselja herself.
Sólheimar is a pioneer in practicing organic farming. In Sólheimar, there is an organically certified greenhouse, forestry, and arboretum. Other environmentally-friendly projects in Sólheimar include geothermal energy and recycling.
The main work in this project will be in the forestry, called Ölur, and also in the greenhouses, which are called Sunna. Volunteers will work in the greenhouses, planting and harvesting vegetables, weed control and sometimes gardening. The work may also include painting or fixing things around the property. During the winter, volunteers will help remove the snow and keep the walkways clear.

It attracts thousands of tourists every year, so besides earning from fishing, local people are now also providing services for tourists to generate more income.
The project welcomes individuals who are passionate about the environment and hands-on conservation work. Volunteers will be working as active promoters of environmental and sea life preservation, and enjoying the natural environment at the same time.
Volunteers' main tasks will be organizing workshops with local people to promote the importance of mangrove forests to people, collecting mangrove seeds, seedlings, and planting mangroves in a protected area while maintaining the already planted mangroves.

2 weeks volunteering in Sólheimar, Iceland‘s first and only eco-village. The heart of the Sólheimar ideology is to give all individuals a fair chance and to maximize their potential. By focusing on individuals' abilities instead of their limitations, Sólheimar aims to create the space for each resident to take every opportunity that arises for each person to grow and develop. Versatility is the strength of Sólheimar so people with special needs that reside here will always be the center of the community. This works through the idea of reverse integration: those without special needs adapt to the abilities of those who do, they can work together to make their community an equal and sustainable one. The foundation of the ideology of Sólheimar derives from the visions and lifework of Sesselja herself.
Sólheimar is a pioneer in practicing organic farming. In Sólheimar, there is an organically certified greenhouse, forestry, and arboretum. Other environmentally-friendly projects in Sólheimar include geothermal energy and recycling.
The main work in this international volunteer project will be in forestry called Ölur and also in the greenhouses which are called Sunna. Volunteers will be working in the greenhouses planting and harvesting vegetables, doing weed control and sometimes you will also be gardening. The work might involve work around the property, painting or fixing things. During the winter, volunteers will also have to help remove snow and keep the walk paths clear for the residents.Project dates:

Maintaining the natural landscape of Oued el Kanar
Oued el Kanar valley is in the Moroccan High Atlas Mountains. It is considered a highly preserved valley due to its nature and the traditional way of living of the local people.The project was established by members of the local community with the aim to raise environmental awareness. Its major focus is on mitigation of the effects of climate change and fostering intercultural education among the local community. The project is based in Ouad Kanar village in the north of Morocco, close to Chefchaouane and Tetouan. It is situated 90 km from Chefchaouane city, in an area that is famed for its cultural diversity. The volunteers will be hosted in a hostel and will be able to experience the cultural diversity and learn to live with and interact with members of the host community in an atmosphere of cooperation and solidarity.

Hello there.
I am a 29 year old Fleming student. Recently I have uprooted my life and had to start again as I found out my husband of 8 years was having an affair. With that, I picked up my life and have moved to Peterborough. I managed to save up enough for first and last, and in an attempt to make my life better decided to go to school for social services with a secondary diploma in mental health and addictions. Recently, my computer broke and I am having to go to the local library and the employment counsilling center to do my assignments. I work on the weekends, but I can never seem to save up enough as somthing always happens which sets me back. I have cut costs in my life by using the foodbank and giving up my car...but it never seems to be enough. I do not have friends in the area, my mom passed away when I was little and my dad is not involved in my life, so I am doing everything on my own.
I have always been someone to help and contribute within my community. I have done an excessive amount of volenteer work with the cadets and United way, I helped my neighbors as much as I could, and I have tried to sustain good relations with those around me. I'm praying that will count on my karma scale and come back to me now as I need the support more then ever..If anyone is willing to make a donation to help me get a laptop, or has an old one they are willing to part with. It would literally change my life at this point. The one I need for school is 400.00.
Please know, im a person with feelings. Do not ask for nudes, please don't get weird...and please no awful comments. I feel like I'm already barley staying above water as it is...
Thank you !!
