Ayuda Contenedores

Description
AC is an organization that aims to help NGODs in sending humanitarian aid containers to different countries. We fight to eradicate inequality by favoring synergies with other NGODs, companies and public institutions. All the work is carried out entirely by volunteers: collection of donated materials, repair and packaging, shipment of containers and trailers and follow-up. ESC volunteers would be incorporated into the activities: reuse and recycling with workshops of mechanics, carpentry, painting; collection trips and international shipments with the workshops of selection, filling and departure of international containers, follow-up of arrival in the countries Hundreds of donors, public and private institutions, hospitals, educational centers, and many individuals offer us their materials: hospital beds, sanitary and medical equipment; industrial, construction and agricultural materials; desks, blackboards, vehicles, bicycles, wheelchairs, computers, food...
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will receive a monthly room and board allowance, as well as pocket money, so that he/she can share an apartment with other youth and manage his/her own food. Pamplona is a city with bike lanes and a bike will be at your disposal.
