Volunteer during travelling

According to Wikipedia, "Volunteer travel, volunteer vacations or voluntourism is travel which includes volunteering for a charitable cause." So, the aim of travel is different from common travel. Many people would like to go somewhere not only just to have fun with spending time, but give a meaning for their presence in that area. and volunteer travel is the answer.
In recent years, "bite-sized" volunteer vacations have grown in popularity. Volunteer vacations vary widely in scope, from low-skill work cleaning up local wildlife areas to providing high-skill medical aid in a foreign country. Volunteer vacations participants are diverse but typically share a desire to “do something good” while also experiencing new places and challenges in locales they might not otherwise visit.
There are also other types of traveling that engage people with scientific research and education to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment. Participants cover a fee that would include expenses on the different sites worldwide, and engage in projects according to their interest or location.

Lado Educare is a language course that helps our students who want to continue their high education mostly in Germany. Now, we expand into providing and assisting people from abroad who wants to do volunteering in Indonesia. 
In April 2014, we hosted three internship fellows who did internship in an election monitoring organization in Jakarta. We made contact with the organization and arranged some things for them. They came from Germany and Austria.
