Hi Karen, It's great to know that you are planning to spend time in volunteering. I can suggest you to join here some university students group ( I know some of the group and their activity places) who teach the street children in the evening with their own expenses. Hope you will enjoy that! Please message me if you have any further queries. Take care.
Regards, Mahy!
HI I am Joy. I am a university student. I am working on a private children sponsorship project in the biggest slum in Dhaka. We are working with the children and helping in their studies. Anyone can do volunteering here. So I invite you to volunteer for our project. You will definitely love the children. We have almost 100 children. Some came for volunteer already. Our project name is "Alingan Foundation". I am giving the website link of our project below. If you are interested then you can contact our director directly via email or me also. Hoping to see you. Thanks in advance.
Hello, have a nice day! I am very glad to know that you want to visit my Country and planning to spend time in volunteering. Bangladesh is one of the best place for traveling. For your kind information, my upcoming guest is Mr. Andrew (from Skelmersdale, England, United Kingdom) he confirmed his stay in Bangladesh and he will stay here for three days. After him I want to help you for your plan. I am offering to volunteering. Please contact with me.
Hi Karen, that would be really so nice of you! There are many opportunities for volunteering. What type of work you want to offer. There are schools for poor children, old age home, and many more scopes where you can volunteer I believe!
Hi Kareen, I would love to meet you and if you need any help let me know.
Hello Karen Pereira, You may do your voluntary work with a very famous organization for disabled people of Bangladesh namely Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP), located in Savar, Dhaka (total 13 acres of land). CRP is founded by a British lady Ms. Valerie A. Taylor and she continuously lives there. It is one of the biggest organizations with about 1000 employees and always they have foreign volunteers from European and North American countries. You can stay and can have food with a very minimum cost and well secured, proven (they have separate accommodation for international volunteers and students). To know more about it, please visit www.crp-bangladesh.org and for apply to do voluntary work click at http://www.crp-bangladesh.org/volunteers/ By the way, I am ex employee of CRP.
What type qualifications and/or knowledge you have, they have so may departments and works where they can engage you surely. Thanks.

You can go to Cox's Bazar and work for the Rohingas. There are so many groups whoever are working for them . you just go there and meet up with some groups or NGO's they will accept you to do this.
