The land of Turkey is located at a point where three continents, Asia, Africa and Europe, are closest to each other. Turkey also straddles the point where Europe and Asia meet. Geographically, the country is located in the northern half of the hemisphere at a point that is about halfway between the Equator and North Pole. Because of its geographical location, the mainland of Anatolia has always found favor throughout history, and has been the birthplace of many great civilizations.

Turkey offers a fusion of culture: old and new, east and west, modern and traditional. Volunteers contribute to worthwhile causes while meeting new people, learning valuable work and life skills and becoming part of Turkish community life. In Turkey, you can see landscapes of incredible natural beauty, sites of great antiquity, towns and villages with lovely examples of architecture from Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman times.
