Hi,

While living abroad, some expats wish to get involved in the local community life.

What organizations expats can turn to if they want to volunteer in Libya?

How to join a charitable institution, what are the steps?

Which causes have the greatest need for volunteers in Libya?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience and advice,

Maximilien

actually its not a good idea to join any of these charitable groups since they're often targeted by militias.

the militias displace a group of people, towns etc and don't want anyone to help those people. many aid groups have pulled out of Libya due to this reason and for the safety of its staff - being kidnapped, arrested, tortured etc.

Thanks for the head's up. I was hoping to help out with the Red Crescent if they allow it, but I guess not.
How sad.
