Volunteering
The Vedruna Volunteers International was born in 2004, due to a double need: the willingness of various people to participate in projects of the Vedruna congregation and the willingness of the Sisters to welcome those people who want to collaborate in their projects. In order to exchange knowledge, experiences and cultures between countries in the Americas, Asia, Africa and Europe, helping each other.

Volunteering
We present all the projects in which you can participate.
The projects may be modified or cancelled by the Commission of the Vedruna Volunteers International (C.V.V.I.) or the communities receiving volunteers due to circumstances beyond their control or force majeure.
Testimonials
We assume and understand the Mission as a challenge and task shared by the whole Vedruna Family. It allows us to broaden our vision, widen our heart and dream, together. to humanity, new spaces and places where the Gospel logic of gift, fraternity-sorority, welcoming diversity, respect, reciprocal love and dialogue is lived.
Vedruna volunteering has made me discover and meet people, friends, with whom to share ideals, experiences, work… The real volunteering begins at the end of the lived experience.
In Vedruna Volunteering you do not bring technical knowledge of any kind but your whole person and the best of yourself.
What I am most grateful to have learned is that there are many more people in the world who live differently than we do. When you realize that your way of life is not the majority way of life, many values change.
Vedruna Volunteering has given me and continues to give me strength and motives to reorient my life towards what is truly important.
The experience has been unique and has changed the way I look at the world.
We have realized that not only our look has changed, but something has transformed inside us that makes us see life differently, with more emotion and passion.
Vedruna Volunteering has changed many aspects of my life for the better. I value so much more what I have here and all these new cultures have opened my mind and my heart. It is certainly a dream come true.
Vedruna Volunteering is discovering what Tierra Sagrada means.
