Give and Receive
Volunteering in Cyprus: one of the most effective ways to integrate, make contacts and give back. More informal than in Germany. German-speaking helpers welcome everywhere.
Animal Welfare – Greatest Need
1.5 million stray cats. Organizations depend entirely on volunteers. Feed, foster, transport to vet, organize adoptions. PAWS, Cyprus Cat Society, SOS Animals. Contact via Facebook.
The section on "Give and Receive" was the most valuable for us. We couldn't find this information anywhere else before our move. It saved us a lot of time and hassle.
