Dear friends,
Today, we want to share the inspiring story of Jane and Roger, two volunteers from the United States who remind us that there is no age limit when it comes to creating positive change in the world.
After retiring, Jane and Roger made a life-changing decision: to dedicate this new chapter of their lives to traveling the world while volunteering and supporting communities in need. During their journey through South America, they searched for organizations where they could truly connect with local communities and contribute in meaningful ways.
That search is what led them to us.
Through an email sent to international@mensajerosdelapaz.org.ar, Jane and Roger introduced themselves, shared their story, and expressed their desire to volunteer in Argentina. Soon after, we organized a video call where we presented the different projects carried out by Mensajeros de la Paz Argentina and the communities we support every day.
During their stay, Jane and Roger participated in activities across different Mensajeros projects, sharing meaningful moments with children, older adults, caregivers, and volunteers. Here, we share a special photo from one of their days at our Day Center for Older Adults, where conversations, laughter, and companionship created unforgettable moments for everyone involved.
At Mensajeros de la Paz, we strongly believe that volunteering is not only about helping others — it is also about transforming ourselves through human connection, shared experiences, and community engagement.
We want to encourage people of all ages who dream of visiting Argentina and dedicating part of their time to serving others to take that step and reach out to us.
If you would like to become part of our international volunteer community, write to us at: international@mensajerosdelapaz.org.ar
Whether you are a student, a professional, retired, traveling alone, or with family, there is always a place for compassionate people willing to become an active part of our community.
With gratitude,
The Mensajeros de la Paz Argentina Team
