We offer volunteers the chance for a hands-on experience by personally contributing to important climate adaptation, conservation initiatives and community projects in our organisation.

Currently we have one volunteer students from Ruprecht-Karls-University of Heidelberg in Germany, Ms. Sonja Wollf, who is a student of geography, cultural anthropology and political science. After years of interdisciplinary, but mostly theoretical development studies in all three subjects she would like to do some empirical research in Tansania for her masters' thesis in geography.
