WindAid is a non-profit social responsibility organization based in Trujillo, Peru and we run environmental development projects building wind turbines for communities in Peru without access to electricity.
As a volunteer on one of our projects, you will be involved in building a wind turbine from scratch and then spend the final week of the program living with the community while you install the wind turbine. The programs offer the opportunity to get involved in hands-on engineering, learn more about wind energy and international development projects or just experience life in another country. Volunteers do not need any previous skills, just an interest and enthusiasm for renewable energy or a desire to make a difference to the environment.
The dates for our upcoming programs are:
- 6th June - 8th July 2011
- 26th September - 28th October 2011
- 7th November - 9th December 2011
- 30th January - 2nd March 2012
- 26th March - 27th April 2012
Each program is limited to 8 volunteers and places do fill quickly so if you are interested then contact us as soon as possible. Details of the cost and what is and isn't included can be found here (http://windaid.org/datesandcost.html).
