HOME ABOUT US
AMA volunteers see and experience life through the eyes of others: those to whom they minister and those with whom they live. In community living, AMA volunteers find support from other volunteers. In addition, AMA's will receive guidance from the Religious of the Assumption and the Assumptionists, women and men who have vowed to live a life dedicated to service to God, education and community living.
AMA's living and working in Cochabamba,Bolivia and Newcastle, England are loving every minute of their volunteer lives......
