Dear IVP,

Hope this email finds you are in good conditions!

As we mentioned that MNCYA is going to held an International work-camp this June! Our workcamp – Feast of Na-Tcha in the Historic Centre of Macau, is mainly about traditional culture preservation and cultural heritage promotion, through a series of workshops and participation in the Feast and Parade. Thus, it provides a very good opportunity for volunteers to join the festival as a cultural event, to get familiar with the Macau World Heritage, experience the unique “East meets west” culture while working along with the local people.

Project code: MY001-18

Date: 23 June to 2 July, 2018 (10 days)

Place: Macau SAR, China

International volunteers needed: 12

Accommodation: Hostel (Sleeping bag is not necessary)

Attached the leaflet is for your details. If you have any questions, or if there is any updates on your work-camps, please feel free to contact us, we’ll promote them to our volunteers asap.

Looking forward to meeting you again and keep in touch.

Hello everyone! :) We are happy to announce our new workcamp in Portugal. It will be from 4 to 15 of June and you can find all the information here: https://www.workcamps.info/icamps/camp-details/camp-11829.html

In the year of 2017, Portugal was particularly hit by violent fires that destroyed a very significant part of the forest, villages, and took the life of more than a hundred people. In this context of destruction of the natural and humanized spaces, it is urgent not only an intervention to clean the forests but also a strong environmental education of the populations to prevent as much as possible events such as the ones that happened the last year. And this is exactly what the volunteers of this workcamp will do in Vinhais!

Please help us promote this workcamp :) Looking forward to get your applications! Thank you and have a wonderful day,

Ines Ferrao

CALL: SCI International Secretariat is recruiting a new staff member
JOB TITLE: Fundraiser
GENERAL INFORMATION

Service Civil International (SCI) is inviting tenders for the post of Freelance Fundraiser.

SCI is a peace organisation that promotes a culture of peace through voluntary work. The projects that SCI runs have a number of themes including peace and non-formal education, environment, social and culture. There are also a number of thematic campaigns including Building Bridges and Peers to Peace. Please see our website for details. Additionally, a number of core meetings are to be financed. This variety presents a wide scope of opportunity to the fundraiser.
SCI is looking for a Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser to support the work of the movement nationally and internationally. The larger EU applications are handled by the International Secretariat (IS), the Head office. The overall plan is to focus on small to medium sized grant giving organisations to begin with. You will be responsible for identifying and cultivating new opportunities as well as nurturing links with existing funding partners and making sure that we comply with all reporting requirements. Once the post becomes more established and successful, we envisage increasing the number of hours and/or fundraisers, and adding a corporate fundraiser to the team.
The post will be supported by the IS and a Working Group of volunteers with fundraising experience.
