This vacation do something meaningful
Year Published: 1989Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX3631 Abstract: tecNICA (Technical Support Project) is a non-government organization that provides professional and technical assistance to Nicaragua and Southern Africa. Its work is directed towards the exchange of skills which are needed for self-sufficient economic development and greater economic equality among the people and nations of the world. tecNICA arranges short working tours (minimum two weeks) for volunteers to Nicaragua and Southern Africa. Computer professionals, mechanics, electricians, machinists, health care workers and other trades are desperately needed. Longer term placements are also possible. Volunteers are responsible for airfare, accommodation, and placement costs; however, tecNICA points out that this can come to less than the cost of many package tours.
