VOLUNTEERING


Armonia has been visited by hundreds of people over the last two decades - either as individual trippers or in organised teams.

Most donors and regular supporters in the UK have been "hooked in" to Armonia through making a personal visit or hearing first-hand accounts from people who have. Not many projects or charities are quite so well set up to receive individuals or groups, as Armonia.

Armonia Mexico has recently rewritten its dossier of information for those thinking of heading to Mexico.

If you are about to form a group or simply want to enquire about the possibilities and are unsure about what help you could be, then please Email Wes Vander Lugt (volunteer) in Mexico City, and he can send you all the necessary information. If you are thinking that sending a donation would be better than spending that sort of money on flight tickets to get you there, think again. Armonia believes that putting yourself in relationship with some of the world's poorest is part of the transformation which the Gospel brings about.

2009 APPEAL for FUNDS


We have just launched a new Fundraising Appeal for 2009.

Leaflets are available online - two separate leaflets for two linked Appeals.

We are asking for funds to build a STUDENT RESIDENCE for 48 students in Oaxaca, southern Mexico.

Rapid progress has been made on the first student residence (see photo above) in readiness for students moving in at the end of the summer 2009. This building work has been funded through USA donors and others.

In total four residences are planned, each housing 48 students. Armonia UK Trust wants to raise sufficient funds from its donors (you!) to cover the costs of one of these.

£50K is needed....Urgently!

We are also asking for funds to support individual ARMONIA SCHOLARS. They get financial support for their university studies, in return for three years commitment to working with Armonia children and young people. £1440 per year is needed per student to see them through their studies.

We hope to put up stories and photos over the next few weeks - stories of the students able to benefit from these two appeals and those who have already received help.
