PRESENTATION

DEAR EXCHANGEE:

Thank you very much for giving a little of your time to make a tour around this booklet and we are very confident that at the end your will finally decide in which project you would like to be placed during your exchange year in Mozambique.

This booklet contains details of ICYE’s projects in Mozambique, in which you can volunteer from August 2018 or January 2019, for a period of 6 or 12 months.

As you may notice during your tour to this guide you will easily perceive that our projects are diversified but mainly social projects (children, orphanages, youth, HIV/AIDS, etc); human rights (including children and youth rights, HIV/AIDS discrimination and stigmatization, etc); media and information projects; research projects on social science and etc.

In all these range of possibilities and after having touring on the booklet you may finally decide in which project you would like to volunteer for during your exchange period. Note that, for some reasons some projects are highly demanded, we advise you to shortlist three different work placements preferences.

We have to say that this booklet has been produced with the collaboration of the ICYE past volunteers in Mozambique and some of the data may be outdated but we trust your sense of understanding and flexibility in case this information has been changed.

We also appreciate inquires related to a specific placement or group of placements that interest the candidate. We will do our best to clarify any doubt or concern that may come, not just related to the placement but also related to the whole exchange period in Mozambique.

We look forward to see you in Mozambique soon.

Regards

From The ICYE Mozambique team.
