El Salvador needs volunteering

I found another kind of volunteering in the web, is about some people that is helping in El Salvador, but they are from others countries like US or Canada, is interesting to know that exist many people helping El Salvador from the others countries but no many people helping inside the Country

Join HELP International on a volunteer project in El Salvador. Participants can either join as volunteers or international development interns and work in the fields of education, public health, entrepreneurship, and community development. Volunteers typically stay in El Salvador from six weeks to four months depending on the needs of the project and the volunteer's own schedule.
El Salvador is one of the smallest and poorest countries in Central America. HELP volunteer play an important role in helping these communities fight poverty through education and community development, but Food Bank is not present in El Salvador.

The follow video talk about the violent situation in Guatemala that is the country next to El Salvador but this countries are very similar, and is very interesting because this protest song was written by a Canadian man called Bruce Cockburn who visited this countries in the past.

  1. Does this organization get volunteers from Canada?
    What about volunteers from El Salvador? Is there a lot of organized volunteering originating from El Salvador or is it mostly externally organized?

  2. I thought you might like to look into the Canadian singer Bruce Cockburn. He's written quite a few songs about Guatemala. I know it's not El Salvador, but Guatemala's a neighbour, isn't it? "If I had a Rocket Launcher" is a famous one.

  3. I never have listened about Bruce Cockburn, but I loocked in the web and I found his song. Is very interesting and I think that this song can help me to understand the Canadian Culture, thank you for your advise.
