As part of providing volunteer opportunities and assisting in overseas humanitarian needs, HOPE worldwide (Australia) runs an annual Volunteer Corps. In the past this has just been to PNG, but through our affiliate organisations we are extending this to other countries in the Asia Pacific as well as across the globe.
