Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing in connection with the appeal in your web-site. According to your appeal, you are looking for volunteers to help in the educational and social development of the poor children in Haiti. Although I am not a professional, I am studying to become a nurse and I would like to volunteer.
I am a 22-year-old student at a Medical College in Buenos Aires. I took part in a number of ventures which aimed to help the people in the countries of the third world. Also, I have a certificate in first aid. Furthermore, I have participated in two specialist training courses. I have worked as a volunteer in the state hospital in my town for the last three months. However, I could easily take a two-month leave to join your campaign.
Due to my medical qualifications, I could deal with all kinds of physical problems the children might be suffering from. Besides, I am sure I would cope with other situations, such as taking care of the elderly and homeless.
I would be grateful if you could inform me when you will be announcing the results of the applications.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
M.A. Fernández
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing in connection with the appeal in your web-site. According to your appeal, you are looking for volunteers to help and work in the whaling programme in Japan.
I am a 23-year-old veterinary student in Buenos Aires, and I am very concerned about the killing of whales in Japan, especially about the whale meat embezzlement scandal exposed by Greenpeace. I took part in solidarity activities which aimed to help animals. I have a certificate in first aid. Furthermore, I served as a volunteer in the Defense Animal Association last year so I have some experience of animal care. As I have travelled to Japan and seen what they do with whales, I am at your disposal.
I don´t know if I have any of the specialised skills that you need. However, I could certainly help animals. As a result, I could also assist in the rescue at sea.
To sum up, I would be grateful if you could send me further details. I look forward to hearing from you on this important matter.
Yours faithfully,
Estefanía Ravera
http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/forests/amazon/Dear Greenpeace,
We just saw the appeal in the newspaper asking for volunteers to help save the Amazon. We want to be part of Greenpeace campaigns to protect the rainforest from deforestation and climate change.
We are two 18-year-old students of sociology eager to help and meet people that help. Although we are young and have no experience, we want to be Greenpeace activists and assist where it is needed.
Because of our course we think we can be very helpful taking care of the thousands of natives in need of assistance.
In addition, we have several friends with free time who are looking forward to offering their help.
Yours faithfully,
Candelaria Piazzali and Joana Gich.
Volunteering Projects in Guatemala
You can become involved in a range of community aid projects in Guatemala. With such a wide variety of projects this program has something to suit everyone. You have the opportunity to contribute to healthcare, childcare, teaching, construction and animal care / animal rights projects.
Guatemala is one of the poorer Latin American countries, yet considered one of the most beautiful to visit. While sharing your knowledge and compassion you will gain an in-depth experience of the country and its culture that will stay with you the rest of your life.
Global volunteer network
We are writing in connection with the appeal on the Internet page, to help with the orphanage in Guatemala as volunteers. We are senior-year- high school students looking forward to bringing help to those who need it the most.
We are Juan, 18 years old, and Natalia, 17 years old, and we have worked in construction in a shanty town in Reconquista, Santa Fe. We are part of the volunteering projects in our school, so we have some experience as volunteers.
Also, we believe we could be helpful in taking care of children as we have a great deal of passion and sense of justice, apart from the fact that we will put our best in the Project.
To sum up, we would be thrilled to take part in such an experience.
Looking forward to your answer
Natalia De Bonis and Juan Peña
IMAGINARY COUNTRY
Population: 10 million
GNP per capita: $ 100
Unemployment: 30 %
Agriculture: poor soil– some production of bananas
Industry: very little– a chemical factory in the capital
Communications: most roads muddy– problems in the wet season; airport in need of repair; very few telephones
Education: only 40 % literacy rate; very few secondary schools
Health: only 2 hospitals (100 hospital beds); poor sanitation– malaria is common
Housing: many houses badly damaged in recent floods
Natural disasters: bad floods in central river valley; danger of earthquakes
Environment: several endangered species (including a rare kind of bear); main river and lake polluted by the chemical factory
We think that this country needs a lot of changes. As it does not have natural resources we think that tourism would be a means to provide an income and a source of employment. As they have endangered species, we would ask an international organization for help. They could organise campaigns to collect some money and that money would be destined for the creation of a natural park, the renewal of the airport and the rebuilding of the roads.
The modernization of hotel resources would attract international tourism and that would provide an income for the government.
We think we should set up an education programme based on a long-term plan. The plan would mainly consist in building schools and training teachers.
Then we consider that a health programme is also essential. It is necessary to build hospitals, train doctors and nurses and vaccinate children to avoid diseases.
It is necessary to build hydro-electric dams with the purpose of avoiding floods and providing electricity. Solar energy would be promoted in order to protect the environment.
Recycling of materials would be another means of income. In addition, the country could offer the service to their neighbours.
