Platform2 Blogs
Current blogs from Platform2 projects around the world:
Platform2 is a fully-funded opportunity for 18-25 year olds from the UK to volunteer in a developing country for 10 weeks. Volunteers could be going to countries such as Ghana, South Africa, Peru, Nepal, India or Kenya, for a placement which will make a real difference to the local community - all of the work is locally operated and supervised, and sustainable.
When the volunteers get back, we'll give them a platform to creatively express their experience - through art, film, photography, blogging - whatever they're into, they can use it to tell people about their trip and the issues that they saw firsthand.
Platform2 is fully-funded by the Department for International Development, so for people who wouldn't normally be able to get involved.
If you're 18-25 (at the time of travel), have/are eligible for a UK passport, and want to make a difference to people in the developing world, here's your chance. www.myplatform2.com
