Individual Volunteering in Jordan
VISIONEERS gGmbH
Berlin, Jordan
Description
The activities of volunteers will take place in two different locations: at the headquarters office of JHASi in Amman city and in the Zaatari refugee camp at the border between Jordan and Syria. Since its opening in 2012, the Zaatari refugee camp has become the largest refugee camp in the world. It was established by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) with the aim of hosting Syrians fleeing the violence of the Syrian civil war that broke out in March 2011. Over the years, the camp has taken the form of a city with a growing number of economic activities, including supermarkets, bakeries, schools, gyms, hospitals, spaces designated for worship and courtyards dedicated to recreational activities for children. Jordan Health Aid Society International is one of the organizations that are active in the camp, providing essential medical care, health education and support to children, contributing to the overall bell-being of the population.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will be hosted in fully furnished studios in Amman, equipped with all necessary amenities to live and to cook their daily meals. The location will be near the headquarters office and within walking distance. JHASi also offers the possibility to provide volunteers with prepared meals to be delivered to volunteers’ accommodation. Breakfast will be shared with other staff members in JHASi headquarters as part of social activities and volunteers inclusion.
