2019 Camp Volunteers

Every dollar you donate goes directly to one of our projects. And your donation is matched up to 9:1 with government or local partner funds.
While the HELP Fund has a board member involved in every one of our projects, its the local partners who have a proved passionate interest in the project they’re coordinating. Whether its a local NGO who want to expand their services to remote village disabled persons, or a government doctor who wants to pilot services for street people with mental health challenges, our partners have demonstrated their community-centred approach and fiscal responsibility.
Investing in local expertise has proved the best way for us to scale our outside-the -box ideas to more villages and similar concepts while building relationships of trust.

and internships
A group of women succeeded in building a small vegetable business for themselves. At their year-end celebration they decided “we need to help our youth build self-confidence.
We don’t have paid staff – youth programs weren’t our expertise. Never mind, we can call on a network of volunteers who help us and beneficiaries try new ideas that build community capacity.
From greenhouse construction to ice hockey coaching, we depend on our volunteers to help make dreams come true in remote villages and in global classroom projects.
This year we have in-country needs for OTs, coaches and marketing experts. And on-line volunteer positions to help us build Ladakhipedia.
