Job Description: VOLUNTEER IN BOLIVIA THIS SEPTEMBER TO HELP

YOUTH WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES (September 14 - September 30)

Volunteer in Bolivia with children and youths with type 1 diabetes. Help create

resources to afford insulin, eat regularly or receive adequate medical attention.

Thus, all volunteers must be prepared for the often trying conditions in which

*Plan January?s diabetes camps in La Paz and Santa Cruz *Train youth leaders

to carry out leadership and empowerment programs *Conduct local outreach
