What does it mean to be a volunteer?
Participation has no “title” or “position”.
Every contribution — small or large — weaves a piece of our common work.
He has a willingness to contribute, knowledge, skills and love for the place.
Volunteers contribute in many ways:
Know-how and scientific support
Physical presence in missions and actions
Training, speeches, workshops and mentoring
Organization and material assistance to isolated communities
