Travel the World through Voluntourism Easter 2013
Interested in travel? Volunteering? Doing something meaningful and long lasting? Join ISLA on our latest voluntourism trips to Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic this Easter season.
We have been making trips, and training lifeguards, thus reducing the drowning rates in these areas by offering classes, equipment, and studliness. We are changing the ocean safety scene internationally, and you can be a part of it.
We are looking for lifeguards, junior lifeguard instructors, translators, administrators, travel writer, cinematographer, and great people looking to change the world.
