The De La Salle Brothers are inviting giving young Australian men aged between 20 and 35 years to take up a "challenge program", experiencing the Brothers' life and work for two weeks in Papua New Guinea. The program from November 8 to 20 will take volunteers on a journey to Hohola in Port Moresby and to Mainohana in rural PNG, the Brothers said in a media release.
"Quality of life in PNG is limited by access to education, health, employment and recreation services," said Br Mark McKeon, Director of Vocations for the De LaSalle Brothers.
"The Challenge Program not only provides young men with an opportunity to learn about the life of a Brother but also an incredible experience of working within communities to make a profound difference in peoples lives."
During the program, volunteers will be based at the Hohola Youth Development Centre and Mainohana Catholic School and engage in classroom activities, after school sport and "provide general assistance to help care for and support young people in need."
Applications for the PNG Challenge Program close on the September 25.
