Wanted: South-South volunteers

UEM has been running volunteer programs over the years, hereby promoting exchange for youths between member churches. In this framework, young Germans have been sent to church institutions in Africa and Asia under the North-South program. Recently also, young Africans and Asians have been sent to church institutions in Germany to volunteer for a year under the South-North program. This year, we intend to continue with the South-South program involving youth in African and Asian churches. Therefore, youth from Africa and Asia will volunteer in Africa or Asia for one year in order to foster learning opportunities and promote intercultural exchange and sharing experiences with other Christians. These volunteers will actively support the work in their hosting institution.
