An ADRA Connections trip is a life-changing opportunity for volunteers to travel to ADRA’s projects around the globe and experience first-hand the vitally important development work that ADRA does.
Volunteers have a chance to get involved in a variety of ADRA’s projects, from training, monitoring photographic and story writing, to renovations, repairs, playground refurbishment or building, to farming, nutrition, sanitation and hygiene education, or micro-business skill support, to working with communities in disaster zones teaching them how to be prepared in a disaster or helping to rebuild after a disaster – there are a huge range of ways you can be involved in the work of ADRA!
