Hi Marcel

Great to hear from you and thank you for your interest. I have had a look at their
Australian website and cannot see any opportunities for volunteering, however, I
would suggest that you give them a call. All of their contact details are on their
website at http://www.grameen.org.au/

I hope this helps! It would be great if you would let us know the outcome,
there may be other readers who would also like to volunteer.

Kind regards Amanda.

Grameen Foundation in the philipppines does not serve its purpose because they have granted loans to the employees of the University Eastern Philippines with an interest of 1.5 percent per month
