Fundación Aldeas de Paz

Aldeas de Paz is a sustainable and transparent non-governmental and non-profit organization based in two locations in the Dominician Republic: Samaná and Las Terrenas. We maintain independence by completely funding and operating our programs with the practical and monetary contributions of volunteers and interns. We have the purpose of educating, mentoring, inspiring and empowering young people to develop their potentials and help them to create opportunities for themselves and their community through our educational programs and recreational activities. We promote children rights and equal opportunities for all. Our mission is to promote a Culture of Peace through enriching cross-cultural exchange for people of all races and nationalities and we practice voluntary community service where we provide additional opportunities in education, sports, health care and skill training. We assist our beneficiaries in developing their potential and improving their own lives. Our Volunteer and internship opportunities are truly the microcosm of a world where people join together giving priority to improving life for humanity and promoting a Culture of Peace as a practical way to both prevent and resolve conflict. http://peacevillages.org/volunteer-internship.html
