Mensajeros de la Paz Argentina

“Mensajeros del Mundo” is a programme of the NGO Mensajeros de la Paz Argentina which includes the voluntary social work living together in the house of volunteers “Casa del Mundo”.

We consider that the volunteers living and working together will show a good example for our society. The “Mensajeros del Mundo” live in a multicultural environment, they work together to succeed in solving social problems, the volunteers help up with urgent necessaries in the social centers and realize workshops.

It is an experience which permits you to get to know a new culture, to practice Spanish and to live with other international volunteers in a family atmosphere. Furthermore the voluntary service offers you the unique experience of helping to improve the lives of more than 200 people in need in our social centers.
