Does anyone know of volunteer work available in Doha?
I will be working full-time and Fridays will probably be my only day off. I've been reading a lot about what people do after work and my impression is that most people stay at home and spend time with their family. As a single person, I will probably get bored very fast, especially after the end of the work day and on Friday's.
I'm trying to research volunteer organizations that offer, for example, free tutoring of the English language. As an architect I could probably offer how to keep your house cool without spending a lot of money, or help in a kitchen for the poor or homeless. There's also nothing specific in my web search covering volunteering in Doha. I turn to Qatarliving.com for some answers. :-)
Am arab and i found it difficult too, i did not find any voluntary work here, i went to few famous organiztions but its just like fill that form and we'll contact u, and i felt that the women's sections are more dull than men's section. tell me if u were lucky.

Thank you, Elusive. I will check out that group. Would you know how to contact them?
As with cleaning the beaches, I think that's a great idea! I didn't realize how dirty the beaches are over there. I will make sure to tell my friends in New York City and from all over the world about it.
You can do one thing, clean the beaches
you can contact "Qatar Center for Voluntary Activities"..
good luck!
