La DCC

]In the service of young aged 17-24, we met, gave, but received even more. We believed in each of them, they taught us to smile to life, with hope and combativeness. All this world teaches us our world. In a couple, we had the chance to live 2 missions at the cost of one.

In the Senegalese Savanna, what I have learned the mostwill have been in these moments of simple relationship and frugal conviviality, without any more way and a lot of fraternity, with people who have so much to offer us, and whose I probably taught more than I gave them. The volunteering opens the eyes.

The volunteering is the bazaar ! Everything is jostled : my stomach, my valus, my faith, my way of working. But jostled isn't broken : it's just like a kick in the anthill to re-ask what I am.

Founded in 1967, the Catholic Delegation for Cooperation (Catholic development NGO), is the international service of the French Bishops Conference. Present in more than 50 countries, it follows every year more than 500 volunteers. They are in all areas of development and in types of trades.

DCC collaborates permanently with a large network of several NGOs. It is an association recognized to be of public utility and acknowledged as an organization of popular education and it coordinates the dialogue with government services for sending volunteers on mission. DCC is a founding member of the France Volontaires platform co-managed by the public authorities. DCC is a member of the NGO Volunteer Liaison Committee(CLONG-Volunteer) and Coordination SUD.

The DCC responds to the needs of its Southern partners who implement development projects. It is responsible for recruiting volunteers whose profile corresponds to their needs. It trains them before their departure on mission and ensures their follow-up during their mission. When they returns, it follows them and helps them to reintegrate in France.
