Volunteer Network International (V-Net) responds to requests for assistance from those who are disadvantaged in ways that restore health and well-being to the people and the environment, promote self reliance and cultural understanding, and preserve dignity. Founded in 1991 with Amazon Relief, volunteers from around the world have participated in projects serving people in Amazonas, Guatemala, and the United States. Projects involving V-Net founders, in total, have delivered more than $6 million in aid, and include infrastructure such as a school, a weaving cooperative, and a clinic.
