Short term Volunteers can be invaluable because of their willingness to serve with a servant heart, and the wider knowledge and experience they bring with them
An example of two short-term Volunteers is exemplified by the picture on the left.
Rosy and Gela held the fort at Shalom Cafe for Samaritana, whilst the Directors were out of the country meeting the new members of their family aka grandkids.
The period of time was planned carefully to include two weeks of orientation, all in all about 5 months during the quieter rainy season.
Without them, Shalom Cafe would have had to close and Samaritana Women’s groups would have had to be put on hold as they were also looking after the oversight of the group, there being no local available.
