À propos du programme

The animal park is located in a small village about 3 to 4 hours from Cochabamba. There are a number of different animals, for
example monkeys, reptiles, a few feline species, different bird species and a bear. All animals have been traded (illegally) or have
been kept as domestic animals and pets. In the park, the animals are given a second chance. Many of them can’t be released into the
wild anymore, so the park provides them with food and shelter and tries to imitate their natural habitat as well as possible by keeping
them in a ‘semi-free’ environment. Volunteers are needed to help feed and take care of the animals, repair the shelters etc. How your
working day will look depends on the work that needs to be done. There are always a lot of volunteers helping out and the atmosphere
is international with a great sense of community.


Journée typique

You might get up and prepare food for the bear. Then you bring a group of monkeys to the woods (they come back later for the night)

Then you have to fix a trail that was damaged by the heavy rains. After lunch with the other volunteers you and two others continue to build an enclosure for the parrots ...

Journée typique

You might get up and prepare food for the bear. Then you bring a group of monkeys to the woods (they come back later for the night)

Then you have to fix a trail that was damaged by the heavy rains. After lunch with the other volunteers you and two others continue to build an enclosure for the parrots that need a bigger home, because there are too many of them now. You carry materials and get your hands dirty and the time flies by.

At the end of the day you sit around with a group of volunteers. Someone volunteers to cook dinner. You take a shower and after reading the first page of your novel, you fall into a deep sleep surrounded by the sound of nature.

Activités de loisirs

About Beyond South America



Beyond South America is a small nonprofit agency in Cochabamba, Bolivia. It all started in 2012 with a few volunteer positions at "Casa de la Alegria", a foundation that provides therapeutic workshops to youth- and childcare projects in and around Cochabamba.

Everyone in our team has been a volunteer, traveled to a foreign country alone and knows how difficult it can be. We’ve met many volunteers who have had bad experiences, have been left alone in their projects, and lacked support. With that in mind, we decided to start organizing different volunteer opportunities, with hand picked projects, host families we know well, airport pickups, 24/7 support, and most importantly: We want to get to know our volunteers, so we can help them find not just any, but the right project for them.

Since then we’ve grown and have become the "ones to go to when in need" for stranded volunteers in Cochabamba. We’re still a small, familiar organization but by now have partnerships in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Guatemala, and are looking for enthusiastic, open-minded and skilled volunteers for a wide variety of positions in our handpicked projects.

As we have all lived our own lives of voluntary work all around the world, we understand the needs of volunteers, their concerns and wishes. We also care about our collaborating organizations, we offer only sustainable projects, that guarantee safety and on site support for our volunteers.

It may sound naïve, but we actually believe that volunteering can change the world for the better. Acts of solidarity, global learning and intercultural exchange break down borders that exist between cultures and in your own mind. Anyone who has ever worked in another country, who has given his time and energy to a good cause, knows that this can be an unforgettable experience, even a life changing moment. Your own impressions and the ones you leave in others, the learning experiences on both sides, bring the world closer together.


The feedback we receive from our volunteers and from our partners speaks for itself and shows that both sides benefit from volunteering. Many projects in Latin America need committed volunteers and helping hands to continue their important work. Motivated people, who work responsibly and in solidarity, also function as an impulse for the projects and their employees and prove that it makes sense to continue their work.


 

We try to combine the needs of projects and volunteers with our work and work towards finding the right project for volunteers and the right volunteer for the projects. Therefore, we want to get to know you, learn more about your background, your abilities, desires and fears, in order to propose suitable projects to you. Of course, we are also happy if you already have a project in mind and we gladly organize an unforgettable experience for you.

 

Currently we offer positions in projects working in the following fields:

  • Childcare

  • Education

  • Youth Development

  • Teaching

  • Community Work

  • Circus Arts

  • Healthcare

  • Environmental Education

  • Reforestation

  • Conservation

  • Animal Care

  • Urban Gardening


Check out our vacancies and please note, that ALL the profit of Beyond South America still goes to the Foundation "Casa de la Alegría" supporting and sustaining their work. So volunteering with Beyond South America means, you contribute directly to a good cause, bettering the lives of children in Bolivia.

So come with us to Beyond South America.

I had a bad experience with volunteering in Albania once, where I had to quit my project after 3 weeks. So I was very careful when my boyfriend wanted to do voluntary work in South America. We thought it would be better to organize part of our trip with an agency. I was really surprised about the ...
